Environmental geochemistry specifically on soil science. Soil clay mineralogy. Soil iron oxides. Rock and mineral weathering – mineral weathering mechanisms using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Degraded Soils - Contamination and rehabilitation. Assessment of soils and sediments contamination by potentially toxic elements in some Portuguese abandoned mine areas and salt marsh areas. Soil/sediment trace elements partitioning, mainly the bioavailable fraction. Assessment of potentially toxic elements uptake and accumulation in plant species (spontaneous and introduced) growing in mine environments and estuary sediments in order to their use in phytoremediation programs. Development in situ remediation low cost techniques for mine wastes and sediments in order to their physico–chemical improvement and stabilization using sustainable combined physico-chemical and biological approaches (low cost amendments and tolerant plants). Landscape geomorphic dynamic: evaluation of the landscape stability/instability by means of the Morphogenesis/Pedogenesis rate. Application to landscape planning.

  34. Sources, background and enrichment of lead and other elements: Lower Guadiana River. The lower sector of the Guadiana River Basin, located in southern Portugal and Spain, hosts soils and plants with elevated Pb, Cu and As near former and current mining sites. Two geogenic and two anthropogenic sources of Pb were identified where elevated concentrations are mostly related to the occurrence of sulphide-rich ore deposits, Volcanic Sedimentary formations and mining. These were general. 2013. Batista, M.J.; Oliveira, D.P.S.; Abreu, Maria Manuela; Locutura, J.; Shepherd, T.; Matos, J.; Bel-Lan, A.; Martins, L.. http://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/9079.

  39. Trace elements and activity of antioxidative enzymes in Cistus ladanifer L. growing on an abandoned mine area. Abstract The Mediterranean shrub Cistus ladanifer grows naturally in Sa˜o Domingos (Portugal), an abandoned copper mine. High levels of trace elements in plants can generate oxidative stress increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes. The aim of this work was to evaluate and compare As, Cu, Pb and Zn concentrations and the activity of the soluble and cell wall ionically bounded forms of the en. 2009.

  41. Assessment of pollution risk ascribed to Santa Margarida Military Camp activities (Portugal). Santa Margarida Military Camp (S.M.M.C.) is the only one Portuguese military training area, including firing ranges for tactical military manoeuvres of mechanised divisions. For this reason, various negative effects on the environment were expected due to the military activities, as the Military Camp’s area is classified as a high vulnerability area to pollution of its multilayer porous aquifers.. 2009.

São Domingos mining area is located in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, in south-east Portugal. Intensive gossan gold, copper and silver mining was done in roman times. More recently, mining activities were concentrated in the copper, zinc, arsenic and lead rich sulfide orebodies. To evaluate arsenic hazard, soils developed on the gossan mine waste piles were analysed, using as reference non- contaminated. 2009.

The Islet of Vila Franca do Campo, (S. Miguel Island, Azores) with 6,2 ha, is located 500 m from the south coast. The geology, ecology, and cultural character, makes it a place with high landscape quality, very attractive for recreation, originating a highly sensitive landscape to recreation impacts. Landscape sensitivity assessment becomes therefore a crucial step in the development of a landscap. 2002. Abreu, M.M.; Ribeiro, L.; Arsénio, P.; Bulcão, L.. http://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/5413.
