Dentre os efeitos mais proeminentes, relacionados a estas intrus?es, temos a forma??o de buchitos, rochas pirometam?rficas que ocorrem em altas temperaturas e baixas press?es, na f?cies sanidinito. Por meio de revis?o bibliogr?fica, observa??es de campo, petrografia, petrof?sica, acesso a bancos de informa??es de trabalhos pr?vios na ?rea e resultados da presente pesquisa, foi poss?vel caracterizar e estimar os efeitos termais produzidos na aur?ola de alguns corpos hipabissais nesta bacia. As fei??es mais relevantes associadas ?s intrus?es s?o: compacta??o, faturamento hidr?ulico, fus?o parcial e recristaliza??o das rochas encaixantes. De acordo com as ocorr?ncias minerais registradas, interpretam-se de 800 a 1200oC e press?es inferiores a 0,5 kbar nas proximidades dos corpos ?gneos. O modelamento t?rmico do plug S?o Jo?o registrou o efeito metam?rfico at? 150 m do contato com dissipa??o de calor total em aproximadamente 265 mil anos. Ap?s o pico de temperatura, seguiu-se a fase de arrefecimento registrada com remobiliza??o e precipita??o de minerais de baixa temperatura em falhas, fraturas e geodos, derivados de rea??es com de por??es sedimentares e fluidos metassom?ticos / hidrotermais, com abundante silicifica??o e carbonatiza??o. / The Potiguar Basin is located in the Brazilian Equatorial Margin and presents sedimentary rocks affected by Cenozoic basic igneous intrusions, known as Macau Magmatism. The most prominent effect related to these intrusions is the formation of buchites, pyrometamorphic rocks that occur at very high temperatures and very low pressures in the sanidinite metamorphic facies. Through literature review, field observations, petrographic and petrophysical data, accessing the database of previous studies and results from this research, it was possible to characterize and estimate the effects produced in the thermal aureole of some hypabyssal bodies in the basin. The most relevant features associated with the intrusions are: compactation, hydraulic fracturing, partial melting and recrystallization of country rocks. According to the observed mineral occurrences, temperature of 800 to 1200 ?C and pressure below 0,5 kbar were estimated at the contacts of the igneous bodies. The thermal modeling of the S?o Jo?o plug indicates thermal effects extending up to 150 m away from the contact and cooling time of approximately 265,000 years. After the peak of temperature, followed a cooling phase registered by remobilization and precipitation of minerals at low-temperature in faults, fractures and geodes, interpreted as derived from reactions with sedimentary rocks and metasomatic / hydrothermal fluids with abundant carbonatization and silicification.

Neste trabalho, avaliamos o desempenho dos modelos Krischer e Esdorn (KE), Hashin e Shtrikman (HS), Maxwell cl?ssico (CM), Maxwell-Wiener (MW), e a m?dia geom?trica (GM) para reproduzir os valores de condutividade t?rmica medidos em amostras de rochas cristalinas. Foram utilizadas 1105 amostras de rochas ?gneas e metam?rficas coletadas em afloramentos da Prov?ncia Borborema. Para estas amostras, foram medidas as condutividades t?rmicas e se dispunha dos dados das an?lises modal (porcentagem em volume de quartzo, k-feldspato, plagiocl?sio e soma de minerais m?ficos). As rochas foram divididas em tr?s grupos: (a) rochas ?gneas e ortoderivadas, (b) rochas metassedimentares e (c) todas as amostras. O grupo das rochas ?gneas e orto-derivadas (939 amostras) cobre a maioria das litologias definida no diagrama de Streckeisen, com alta concentra??o no campo dos granitos, granodioritos e tonalitos. No grupo das rochas metassedimentares (166 amostras), foram amostradas as litologias representativas, usualmente com baixo a m?dio grau metam?rfico. O problema de reproduzir os valores medidos de condutividade foi tratado como um problema inverso onde, al?m das medidas de condutividade, a fra??o em volume dos minerais constituintes ? conhecida e a condutividade efetiva dos minerais constituintes e os par?metros dos modelos s?o as inc?gnitas. O objetivo ? identificar o modelo (e as suas estimativas de condutividade efetiva dos minerais e par?metros) que melhor reproduz os valores de condutividade medida das rochas. O desempenho do modelo foi medido pela porcentagem do n?mero de amostras que reproduziam os valores medidos com uma toler?ncia de 15%. Em geral, para todos os modelos o desempenho foi bastante inferior para as rochas sedimentares (com desempenho entre 34% e 65%) em compara??o com as rochas ?gneas e orto-derivadas (desempenho entre 51% e 70%). Para as rochas ?gneas e orto-derivadas todos os modelos tiveram um desempenho similar (desempenho em torno de 70%) exceto para o modelo GM (desempenho entre 51% e 65%). Os modelos KE e HS (desempenho de 70%) apresentaram desempenho ligeiramente superior ao modelo CM e MW (67%). O conte?do de quartzo ? um fator dominante na explica??o da condutividade das rochas ?gneas e orto-derivadas; em particular, usando o modelo MW a iv UFRN/CCET? Disserta??o de mestrado Resumo solu??o ? na pratica uma media harm?nica (associa??o em s?rie) do conte?do de quartzo e da matriz. Por outro lado, para as rochas metassedimentares, os desempenhos dos modelos foram diferentes com o modelo KE (65%) sendo bastante superior ao HS (53%), CM (entre 34% e 42%) e MW (40%) e GM (entre 35% e 42%). Os valores efetivos obtidos para os minerais constituintes apresentaram estabilidade para perturba??es tanto nos valores das condutividades medidas como tamb?m com rela??o ? perturba??es no conte?do de quartzo. O fato de as rochas sedimentares serem mais ricas em minerais planares explica parcialmente o baixo desempenho dos modelos para estas rochas. Neste caso h? uma maior dificuldade em obter-se uma superf?cie polida para um bom acoplamento entre a amostra e o sensor para medida da condutividade, al?m da anisotropia t?rmica apresentada por esses minerais (biotita, por exemplo). Independente do tipo de rocha, tanto os valores muito alto e muito baixo de condutividade s?o dificilmente explic?veis levando-se em conta apenas o conte?do mineral. / A practical approach to estimate rock thermal conductivities is to use rock models based just on the observed or expected rock mineral content. In this study, we evaluate the performances of the Krischer and Esdorn (KE), Hashin and Shtrikman (HS), classic Maxwell (CM), Maxwell-Wiener (MW), and geometric mean (GM) models in reproducing the measures of thermal conductivity of crystalline rocks.We used 1,105 samples of igneous and metamorphic rocks collected in outcroppings of the Borborema Province, Northeastern Brazil. Both thermal conductivity and petrographic modal analysis (percent volumes of quartz, K-feldspar, plagioclase, and sum of mafic minerals) were done. We divided the rocks into two groups: (a) igneous and ortho-derived (or meta-igneous) rocks and (b) metasedimentary rocks. The group of igneous and ortho-derived rocks (939 samples) covers most the lithologies de_ned in the Streckeisen diagram, with higher concentrations in the fields of granite, granodiorite, and tonalite. In the group of metasedimentary rocks (166 samples), it were sampled representative lithologies, usually of low to medium metamorphic grade. We treat the problem of reproducing the measured values of rock conductivity as an inverse problem where, besides the conductivity measurements, the volume fractions of the constituent minerals are known and the effective conductivities of the constituent minerals and model parameters are unknown. The key idea was to identify the model (and its associated estimates of effective mineral conductivities and parameters) that better reproduces the measures of rock conductivity. We evaluate the model performances by the quantity ? that is equal to the percentage of number of rock samples which estimated conductivities honor the measured conductivities within the tolerance of 15%. In general, for all models, the performances were quite inferior for the metasedimentary rocks (34% < ? < 65%) as compared with the igneous and ortho-derived rocks (51% < ? < 70%). For igneous and ortho-derived rocks, all model performances were very similar (? = 70%), except the GM-model that presented a poor performance (51% < ? < 65%); the KE and HS-models (? = 70%) were slightly superior than the CM and MW-models (? = 67%). The quartz content is the dominant factor in explaining the rock conductivity for igneous and ortho-derived rocks; in particular, using the MW-model the solution is in practice vi UFRN/CCET? Disserta??o de mestrado the series association of the quartz content. On the other hand, for metasedimentary rocks, model performances were different and the performance of the KEmodel (? = 65%) was quite superior than the HS (? = 53%), CM (34% < ? < 42%), MW (? = 40%), and GM (35% < ? < 42%). The estimated effective mineral conductivities are stable for perturbations both in the rock conductivity measures and in the quartz volume fraction. The fact that the metasedimentary rocks are richer in platy-minerals explains partially the poor model performances, because both the high thermal anisotropy of biotite (one of the most common platy-mineral) and the difficulty in obtaining polished surfaces for measurement coupling when platyminerals are present. Independently of the rock type, both very low and very high values of rock conductivities are hardly explained by rock models based just on rock mineral content.

O uso desta ferramenta na ind?stria do petr?leo, para ajudar a interpreta??es s?smicas e, principalmente, para procurar armadilhas estruturais, contribu?ram para difundir o uso desta ferramenta na literatura. Atualmente a modelagem f?sica tem um grande campo de aplica??es, desde deslizamento de terra a alojamento de granitoides ao longo de zonas de cisalhamento. Neste trabalho, n?s lidamos com modelagem f?sica para estudar a influ?ncia da estratifica??o mec?nica na nuclea??o e desenvolvimento de falhas e fraturas em um contexto de bacias obl?quas e ortogonais (? dire??o de distens?o) conjugadas. Para simular uma estratigrafia mec?nica usamos materiais diferentes, com propriedades f?sicas distintas, como p? de gesso, microesferas de vidro, argila seca e areia quartzosa. Alguns experimentos foram realizados com acompanhamento do PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry), um instrumento que mostra o movimento das part?culas para cada momento de deforma??o. Foram estudadas duas s?ries de experimentos: i) S?rie MO: Testou-se o desenvolvimento de falhas normais em um contexto de uma bacia ortogonal (? dire??o de distens?o). Os experimentos foram realizados levando-se em considera??o a mudan?a de materiais e espessuras de camadas. Alguns experimentos foram feitos com sedimenta??o sintect?nica. Foram registradas diferen?as na nuclea??o e crescimento de falhas em camadas com diferente comportamento reol?gico. A camada de p? de gesso se comporta de um modo mais competente, o que gera um grande n?mero de fraturas de alto ?ngulo. Essas fraturas evoluem para falhas que apresentam um mergulho mais acentuado do que quando elas atravessam as camadas menos competentes, como as de areia quartzosa. As camadas mais competentes exibem blocos falhados, dispostos em um t?pico arranjo em domin?. Brechas catacl?sticas desenvolveram-se ao longo das falhas que afetam as camadas mais competentes e mostraram hist?rias evolutivas diferentes, dependendo da sequ?ncia estratigr?fica sob deforma??o; ii) S?rie MO-S2: Falhas normais foram analisadas em sub-bacias conjugadas (obl?quas ? dire??o de extens?o), desenvolvidas em sequ?ncias com e sem contraste reol?gico. Em experimentos com contraste reol?gico, dois importantes grabens foram desenvolvidos ao longo das margens falhadas diferentemente do que ocorre nas sub-bacias com estratigrafia mec?nica. Sistemas de falhas obl?quas foram desenvolvidos nos dois conjuntos de experimentos e, na ?rea de intersec??o das sub-bacias, as falhas geradas possuem tra?o bastante curvo. / In the last decades, analogue modelling has been used in geology to improve the knowledge of how geological structures are nucleated, how they grow and what are the main important points in such processes. The use of this tool in the oil industry, to help seismic interpretations and mainly to search for structural traps contributed to disseminate the use of this tool in the literature. Nowadays, physical modelling has a large field of applications, since landslide to granite emplacement along shear zones. In this work, we deal with physical modelling to study the influence of mechanical stratifications in the nucleation and development of faults and fractures in a context of orthogonal and conjugated oblique basins. To simulate a mechanical stratigraphy we used different materials, with distinct physical proprieties, such as gypsum powder, glass beads, dry clay and quartz sand. Some experiments were run along with a PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry), an instrument that shows the movement of the particles to each deformation moment. Two series of experiments were studied: i) Series MO: We tested the development of normal faults in a context of an orthogonal (to the extension direction) basin. Experiments were run taking into account the change of materials and strata thickness. Some experiments were done with sintectonic sedimentation. We registered differences in the nucleation and growth of faults in layers with different rheological behavior. The gypsum powder layer behaves in a more competent mode, which generates a great number of high angle fractures. These fractures evolve to faults that exhibit a higher dip than when they cross less competent layers, like the one of quartz sand. This competent layer exhibits faulted blocks arranged in a typical domino-style. Cataclastic breccias developed along the faults affecting the competent layers and showed different evolutional history, depending on the deforming stratigraphic sequence; ii) Series MOS2: Normal faults were analyzed in conjugated sub-basins (oblique to the extension direction) developed in a sequence with and without rheological contrast. In experiments with rheological contrast, two important grabens developed along the faulted margins differing from the subbasins with mechanical stratigraphy. Both experiments developed oblique fault systems and, in the area of sub-basins intersection, faults traces became very curved.

Esta sequ?ncia ? descrita como um pacote de rochas cujos sedimentos foram depositados em um ambiente complexo, cl?stico/evapor?tico de mar raso, gradando para um ambiente lacustre/des?rtico. O principal objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma an?lise estratigr?fica da Sequ?ncia Neocarbon?fera-Eotri?ssica, visando uma melhor compreens?o da sua evolu??o. Para tal, foram empregados os conceitos modernos e gen?ticos da estratigrafia, utilizando-se como base de dados informa??es de po?os e se??es s?smicas. Para o intervalo estratigr?fico em quest?o foram identificadas tr?s sequ?ncias deposicionais. A Sequ?ncia 1 corresponde a rochas que foram depositadas inicialmente a partir de um sistema fluvial, que passa para um sistema marinho raso implantado durante uma fase transgressiva, e que posteriormente evolui para um sistema deltaico. A Sequ?ncia 2 corresponde a rochas que foram depositadas a partir de um ambiente lacustre/des?rtico, representando uma fase regressiva importante que culmina com a implanta??o de um ambiente des?rtico, o qual corresponde ? Sequ?ncia 3. Na an?lise sismoestratigr?fica foi poss?vel reconhecer as superf?cies cronoestratigr?ficas e as unidades gen?ticas identificadas em po?os e analisar a sua express?o lateral. De modo geral, as sismof?cies reconhecidas nas se??es s?smicas apresentam-se com configura??es paralelas a subparalelas, com grande continuidade lateral, sugerindo uma const?ncia na taxa de sedimenta??o durante a deposi??o desta sequ?ncia. / The Parna?ba Basin consists in an intracratonic basin whose sucession of rocks is arranged in five supersequences. The Upper Carboniferous-Lower Triassic Sequence represents the third major sedimentary cycle and corresponds to Balsas Group, which is divided into four units: Piau? Formation, Pedra de Fogo Formation, Motuca Formation and Samba?ba Formation, from base to top. Different interpretations have been made by several authors in recent decades to interpreted the depositional system and environments related to each unit that belongs to this sequence. In general way, it is described as a thick pack of siliciclastic sediments deposited under complex conditions, varying from clastic/evaporitic shallow marine to lacustrine and desert environment. Aiming to clarify the sedimentary sequence evolution, this work underwent a stratigraphic analysis of the Upper Carboniferous-Lower Triassic deposits by applying modern concepts of the sequence stratigraphy based on well and seismic database. Three main depositional sequences of higher frequency were identified in each well analyzed. The sequence 1 corresponds to rocks initially deposited by a fluvial system with braided channel characteristics which evolved to shallow marine with coastal sabkha conditions related to a transgressive stage, that later evolved to a deltaic system. The Sequence 2 corresponds to rocks deposited in a lacustrine/desert environment associated with sabkha generated during a period of increased aridity in which the area occupied by the Parna?ba Basin had been suffering. The registration of a major regressive phase is shown in Sequence 2 which evolved to a dominantly desert environment recorded in Sequence 3. Seismic stratigraphy analyses allow to define a series of stratigraphic surfaces and related genetic units, as well as to infer its lateral expression. Seismic facies associated with such sequences are dominantly parallel and sub-parallel, with good lateral continuity, suggesting the sedimentary rate was relatively constant during deposition.

However, some areas have their earthquakes related to human action, what means they are induced. The A?u dam is a classic example of reservoir-induced seismicity and it has been the subject of several studies. Recently, after a considerable period of inactivity, the LabSis / UFRN recorded events related to the dam, which led to the installation of a network around the reservoir. From the data provided by this network, it was observed that the seismic activity is related to a new epicental area inside the lake. The epicentral parameters and the focal mechanism were determined. It was found that the events were related to the reactivation of a basement structure in a new seismogenic subvertical fault with NE-SW-striking subparallel to the S?o Rafael Fault. These results were used in the preparation of a scientific paper, which discussed the relationship between this seismicity with the geology of the region and with the reservoir water level. The paper showed that the diffusion of pore pressure was the main mechanism that controlled the triggering of the induced seismicity at the reservoir.

O lajedo est? localizado na Forma??o Janda?ra, Bacia Potiguar. Os dados de campo foram modelados utilizando o software TECTOS, que usa an?lise de elementos finitos para fraturas 2D. Formam identificados tr?s sets de juntas NS, EW e NW-SE, que foram reativadas como falhas. Os maiores valores de Ratio of Failure by Stress (RFS) obtido na modelagem representam o qu?o perto a rocha est? de tocar a envolt?ria Mohr-Coulomb, que indica a concentra??o da tens?o. Os resultados indicam que as tens?es tect?nicas est?o concentradas em zonas estruturais preferenciais, que s?o locais ideais para a gera??o de dissolu??o nos carbonatos. Observei dissolu??o ao longo de fraturas e planos de estratifica??o em todo o lajedo. No entanto, concluo que os maiores valores de RFS ocorrem no cruzamento e termina??es das fraturas. Estes s?o lugares de concentra??o do carste. Finalmente sugiro que existe uma rela??o direta entre a concentra??o da tens?o e a localiza??o da dissolu??o em rochas carbon?ticas. ABSTRACT The fracturing in carbonate rocks has been attracting increasing attention. This study investigates how the fractures (faults and joints) behaves subjected to the stress field and how their behavior may be associated with the generation of karst and consequently to increased secondary porosity in these rocks. We use satellite imagery and VANT image and field data to identify and map the faults and joints, analogous outcrop carbonate rock reservoir in the Janda?ra Formation, Potiguar Basin. Then, we modeled our data using the TECTOS software, which uses finite element analysis for 2D fractures. The results indicate that the tectonic stresses are concentrated in preferred structural zones, which are ideal places for the generation of dissolution in carbonates. The highest values of Ratio of Failure by Stress (RFS) obtained in modeling represents how close the rock is touching the envelopment Morh-Coulomb. We conclude that the highest values of RFS occur at the intersection of fractures and termination thereof. These sites are places of concentration of karst. From the data collected in the field there were three sets of fractures with NS, EW and NW-SE directions. In all cases, the regular pattern of fractures indicates that the system of lineaments 80 ? and 340 ? direction are sets of joints that were reactivated as faults. The joints and faults are shown consistent with the extracted lineaments in the GoogleEarth image. However, it is observed that, in marioria cases, both sets are reactivated as strike-slip faults. Tectonic stylolites occur mainly found in Lajedo showing shortening parallel to the joints (stylolites NS direction), formed in the same tectonic event. In every part of the flagstone we observed dissolution along fractures and bedding planes of the rock. Combining field data with numerical modeling we suggest that there is a direct relationship between stress concentration and location of dissolution. / The fracturing in carbonate rocks has been attracting increasingly attention due to new oil discoveries in carbonate reservoirs. This study investigates how the fractures (faults and joints) behave when subjected to different stress fields and how their behavior may be associated with the generation of karst and consequently to increased secondary porosity in these rocks. In this study I used satellite imagery and unmanned aerial vehicle UAV images and field data to identify and map faults and joints in a carbonate outcrop, which I consider a good analogue of carbonate reservoir. The outcrop comprises rocks of the Janda?ra Formation, Potiguar Basin. Field data were modeled using the TECTOS software, which uses finite element analysis for 2D fracture modeling. I identified three sets of fractures were identified: NS, EW and NW-SE. They correspond to faults that reactivate joint sets. The Ratio of Failure by Stress (RFS) represents stress concentration and how close the rock is to failure and reach the Mohr-Coulomb envelopment. The results indicate that the tectonic stresses are concentrated in preferred structural zones, which are ideal places for carbonate dissolution. Dissolution was observed along sedimentary bedding and fractures throughout the outcrop. However, I observed that the highest values of RFS occur in fracture intersections and terminations. These are site of karst concentration. I finally suggest that there is a relationship between stress concentration and location of karst dissolution in carbonate rocks.

Estudos anteriores apontaram que o rifte ? um meio graben assim?trico alongado de dire??o NE-SW. Para determinar o deslocamento m?ximo (Dm?x) e comprimento (L) dos principais segmentos de falha de borda do Rifte Potiguar foram usados s?smica 2D, dados de po?os e modelagem gravim?trica 3D. A modelagem gravim?trica 3D foi parametrizada com os dados de po?os e interpreta??es das se??es s?smicas. O grau de incerteza do modelo gravim?trico foi da ordem 10% aos dados s?smicos e de po?os. Atrav?s das curvas de crescimento de falhas foi poss?vel dividir as falhas de borda do rifte em quatro segmentos principais, os quais forneceram valores Dm?x/L da mesma ordem de grandeza. As curvas de crescimento de falhas sugerem que um mecanismo tect?nico uniforme regional teria influenciado o crescimento dos segmentos dessas falhas. As varia??es dos deslocamentos m?ximos ao longo dos segmentos de falha indicam que estes segmentos se desenvolveram de forma independente durante o in?cio do rifteamento e, posteriormente, foram unidos por liga??es rig?das e flex?veis. Este ?ltimo, chegou a formar uma rampa de al?vio entre as falhas de Baixa Grande e Carnaubais. Nos pontos de interliga??o entre falhas as taxas Dm?x / L s?o mais elevadas devido ? interfer?ncia do crescimento dos segmentos de falha adjacentes. A evolu??o do Rifte Potiguar foi dividida em cinco etapas com base nas rela??es Dm?x/L, que foram correlacionadas com as principais fases tect?nicas da separa??o entre a Am?rica do Sul e ?frica no Cret?ceo Inferior. / The discussion about rift evolution in the Brazilian Equatorial margin during the South America-Africa breakup in the Jurassic/Cretaceous has been focused in many researches. But rift evolution based on development and growth of faults has not been well explored. In this sense, we investigated the Cretaceous Potiguar Basin in the Equatorial margin of Brazil to understand the geometry of major faults and the influence of crustal heterogeneity and preexisting structural fabric in the evolution of the basin internal architecture. Previous studies pointed out that the rift is an asymmetrical half-graben elongated along the NE-SW direction. We used 2D seismic, well logs and 3D gravity modeling to analyze four major border fault segments and determine their maximum displacement (Dmax) and length (L) ratio in the Potiguar Rift. We constrained the 3D gravity modeling with well data and the interpretation of seismic sections. The difference of the fault displacement measured in the gravity model is in the order of 10% compared to seismic and well data. The fault-growth curves allowed us to divide the faulted rift border into four main fault segments, which provide roughly similar Dmax/L ratios. Fault-growth curves suggest that a regional uniform tectonic mechanism influenced growth of the rift fault segments. The variation of the displacements along the fault segments indicates that the fault segments were formed independently during rift initiation and were linked by hard and soft linkages. The latter formed relay ramps. In the interconnection zones the Dmax/L ratios are highest due to interference of fault segment motions. We divided the evolution of the Potiguar Rift into five stages based on these ratios and correlated them with the major tectonic stages of the breakup between South America and Africa in Early Cretaceous.

A amostragem de sedimentos foi realizada em tr?s campanhas, em torno de um po?o explorat?rio, para comparar as propriedades dos sedimentos do fundo marinho, incluindo granulometria, composi??o, conte?do de carbonato e mat?ria org?nica, anterior a perfura??o do po?o, com amostras coletadas 3 e 12 meses ap?s a perfura??o. O planejamento amostral utilizou 16 esta??es localizadas em 4 radiais distantes 50 m, 100 m, 250 m e 500 m do po?o. Os sedimentos foram analisados nas camadas 0-2 cm e 0-10 cm. Os resultados mostraram que a cobertura sedimentar em torno do po?o era pobre a muito pobremente selecionada, com granulometria predominante na fra??o areia grossa com granulo e cascalho, seguida por cascalho e lama. O conte?do de carbonato de c?lcio foi maior que 96%, associado a sedimentos biocl?ticos, e o conte?do de mat?ria org?nica foi menor que 12%. Apenas pequenas varia??es sedimentol?gicas ocorreram na ?rea afetada pelas opera??es de perfura??o. A principal diferen?a foi observada em amostras da segunda campanha, em termos de uma mudan?a na distribui??o granulom?trica associada a um aumento no conte?do de sedimentos silicicl?sticos. Este impacto ocorreu nos sedimentos mais superficias (0-2 cm), no raio mais pr?ximo ao po?o (50 m), e poderia sugerir o efeito da perfura??o. Entretanto, os sedimentos coletados na campanha 3, um ano ap?s a perfura??o, voltaram a apresentar as mesmas caracter?sticas da primeira campanha. Estes resultados indicam que n?o houve varia??es sedimentol?gicas significantes devido a atividade de perfura??o, e que a din?mica oce?nica na ?rea de estudo foi forte o suficiente para recuperar as caracter?sticas originais do ambiente. ABSTRACT This study was developed in an area located on the outer shelf in the Potiguar Basin, Brazilian equatorial margin; this tropical shelf represents a modern, highly dynamic mixed carbonate-siliciclastic system. Field sampling was carried out during 3 cruises surrounding a shallow-water exploratory well to compare sediment properties of the seafloor, including grain-size, texture, mineral composition, carbonate content, and organic matter, prior to drilling with samples obtained 3 and 12 months after drilling. The sample grid used had 16 stations located along 4 radials from 50 m the well up to a distance of 500 m. Sediments were analyzed in the first 0-2 cm, and 0-10 cm layers. The results show that sedimentary cover around the well is poor to very poorly sorted, with the particle size predominantly in the medium to coarse sand fraction, followed by gravel and mud. The content of calcium carbonate is greater than 96%, associated to bioclastic sediments, and the content of organic matter is less than 12%. Only minor sedimentological variations occured ?in the area affected by drilling operations. The most noticeable effects were observed during the second cruise, in terms of a change in grain size distribution associated to an increase in siliciclastic content, This impact occurred in the most surficial sediment (0-2 cm), in the radial closest to the well (50 m), and could suggest the effects of drilling. However, in the third cruise, one year after drilling, the sediments return to show the same characteristics as in the first cruise. These results show no significant sedimentological variations due to drilling activity, and indicate that ocean dynamics in this area was high enough to recover the environment original characteristics. / This study was developed in an area located on the outer shelf in the Potiguar Basin, Brazilian equatorial margin; this tropical shelf represents a modern, highly dynamic mixed carbonate-siliciclastic system.

Foraminifera serve as viable study tools in these environments; they are able to identify ecologically stressed environments, pointing out hydrographic changes and depositional environments in estuaries. The necessity to check the differences in environmental gradients in places anthropically impacted in Potengi River and adjacent inner shelf through species of foraminifera, and, the responses of these organisms to physical, chemical and geological factors is to provide baseline in the diagnosis of environments. The results show the dominance of opportunistic Ammonia tepida, Bolivina striatula, Quinqueloculina patagonica and Q. miletti especially in regions close to shrimp farms and Baldo Channel sewage in fine grain environments; and Q. lamarckiana indicates penetration of the saline waters in Potengi River. The occurrence of low-salinity tolerant foraminiferal species typical of mangrove environments as Trochammina inflata and T. squamata in Potengi River Channel suggest they probably could have been transported from mangrove area near the Potengi river mouth to the inner shelf regions. These findings suggest Potengi River is able to export mixohaline and mangrove organisms to inner shelf. Two distinct environments were observed, the outermost area is more influenced by marine influence and the innermost area is less influenced. Calcareous and agglutinated species dominate Potengi River, while mouth and inner shelf areas are dominated by calcareous, agglutinated and porcelaneous species, which are typical of highly saline and hydrodynamic environments and the contributive factors that controls foraminiferal distribution were balance of marine and freshwater currents, grain size, availability of CaCO3 and organic matter.

Para tanto, foram utilizados eventos que ocorreram na mesma entre 2001 e 2013 com magnitude acima de 2.9 e que tiveram epicentros bem determinados por redes locais de estac?o?es ou back azimuth, quando os dados sa?o de boa qualidade. Foram escolhidos 7 eventos ocorridos nas principais a?reas si?smicas da Provi?ncia Borborema. Os eventos selecionados foram, ao todo, registrados em 74 estac?o?es das redes: RSISNE, INCT-ET, Mile?nio, Joa?o Ca?mara - RN, Sa?o Rafael - RN, Caruaru - PE, Sa?o Caetano - PE, Castanha?o - CE, Santana do Acarau - CE, Taipu - RN e Sobral - CE e a estac?a?o RCBR da rede IRIS/USGS - GSN. Para a determinac?a?o dos para?metros do modelo realizou-se a inversa?o do tempo de percurso atrave?s de um ajuste de retas aos tempos observados. A validac?a?o deste modelo se deu de modo independente atrave?s da comparac?a?o com outros modelos conhecidos (globais e regionais para o Brasil). O modelo final, nomeado MBB, apresenta um modelo crustal lateralmente homoge?neo composto por duas camadas com crosta superior de 11,45 km de espessura e uma crosta com espessura total de 33,90 km, sendo a base da segunda camada limitada pela descontinuidade de Moho. A velocidade da onda P na crosta superior foi estimada em 6,00 Km/s e na crosta inferior 6,64 Km/s. A velocidade da onda P no manto superior foi estimada em 8,21 Km/s com uma raza?o VP/VS de aproximadamente 1,740 ? 0,002. / In this work it was performed a study to obtain parameters for an 1D regional velocity model for the Borborema Province, NE Brazil. It was used earthquakes occurred between 2001 and 2013 with magnitude greater than 2.9 mb either from epicentres determined from local seismic networks or by back azimuth determination, when possible. We chose seven events which occurred in the main seismic areas in the Borborema Province. The selected events were recorded in up to 74 seismic stations from the following networks: RSISNE, INCT-ET, Jo?o C?mara ? RN, S?o Rafael ? RN, Caruaru - PE, S?o Caetano - PE, Castanh?o - CE, Santana do Acarau - CE, Taipu ? RN e Sobral ? CE, and the RCBR (IRIS/USGS?GSN). For the determination of the model parameters were inverted via a travel-time table and its fit. These model parameters were compared with other known model (global and regional) and have improved the epicentral determination. This final set of parameters model, we called MBB is laterally homogeneous with an upper crust at 11,45 km depth and total crustal thickness of 33,9 km. The P-wave velocity in the upper crust was estimated at 6.0 km/s and 6.64 km/s for it lower part. The P-wave velocity in the upper mantle we estimated at 8.21 km/s with an VP/VS ratio of approximately 1.74.
