Abstract

With the advent and recent popularization of the use of drones in geosciences, they have gained prominence due to their ability to obtain information in areas of difficult access, in addition to enabling the generation of extremely detailed models of large outcrops in an agile and fast manner. The present study involved the investigation and imaging of three outcrops, located in the southern part of the Paranaguá Terrane, with emphasis on the detailed cartography of their lithological and structural aspects. Being composed of gneiss, granitoids, schists and granofels, it was possible to construct detailed maps of their spatial arrangements, with subsequent integration of structural data obtained from the field, such as shear zones, fractures and migmatite/intrusive features. The use of cartographic products derived from the use of drones helped to contextualize the structures observed with the tectonic scenario of the studied sites, enabling the correlation of these features with the geological framework observed at broader scales.

Luís Felipe Machado da Costa, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro

He holds a degree in Geology from the Federal University of Pernambuco (2020) and a degree in Environmental Management from CEFET/RJ (2016), and a master's degree in Geology from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (2024), in a research line of regional geology and tectonic evolution of orogenic belts, with a focus on shear zones. Currently, I am a PhD student in Geology at UFRJ and work as a researcher in the research project "GEODYNAMICS of the continental lithosphere of SW GONDWANA: the basement of the South Atlantic rift system", in cooperation with CENPES-PETROBRÁS, and as a consulting/freelance geologist in iron and gold exploration and mining projects. He participated in the PIBIC-UFPE Project in a research line of structural and metamorphic geology of mylonitic rocks (2017-2020). He worked as an intern at the Pernambuco Water and Climate Agency - APAC (2019), in the groundwater use granting sector; at the Brazilian Geological Survey - CPRM (2012-2014), in the geological risks sector; and at Nitriflex Indústria e Comércio S/A (2011), in the analytical chemistry and quality control sector. He has experience in geological-structural mapping, geoprocessing, petrography, geochronology and mineral exploration research.
