This session invites authors to submit papers related to geoconservation, geodiversity, geological heritage, geotourism, geoparks, geoethics, geoscience education, and science communication. Interdisciplinary studies addressing Amazonian geodiversity in all its dimensions — including cultural, aesthetic, economic, functional, scientific, and educational values — are welcome. We also encourage submissions that highlight initiatives promoting cultural, religious, historical, and scientific landscapes connected to geoheritage and geoconservation, as well as efforts to popularize geoscientific knowledge to diverse audiences.

This session welcomes contributions related to interior sedimentary basins such as Amazonas, Parnaíba, Acre, Alto Tapajós, Parecis, Solimões, Tacutu, as well as marginal basins such as Foz do Amazonas, Pará-Maranhão, and Barreirinhas. Topics may include facies analysis, sedimentary petrology, tectono-sedimentary evolution, diagenesis, sequence stratigraphy, carbonate and siliciclastic systems, provenance, biochronostratigraphy, geoarchaeology, and paleontology.
Responsible Committee: Ana Tayla Rodrigues Ferreira (UFRR), Mayara Fraeda Barbosa Teixeira (UFAM)
This session aims to present and discuss studies on igneous and metamorphic rocks of the Amazon Craton, covering aspects of mineralogy, petrography, petrogenesis, geochemistry, and geochronology. Topics include magma sources, chemical-mineralogical characteristics, I-, A-, and S-type granites, charnockites, layered mafic-ultramafic complexes, volcanism, and their links to plutonic processes. It also includes studies on granulites and migmatites, pressure-temperature conditions, deformation mechanisms, thermodynamic and experimental aspects, and magma emplacement. The tectonic architecture, geodynamic evolution, and geotectonic context of the Amazon Craton, including adjacent orogenic systems and Cenozoic geodynamics, will also be addressed. Field-integrated studies combining petrography, geochemistry, geochronology, and geophysics are especially encouraged.

This session will focus on the exploration, characterization, and economic potential of mineral and energy resources, including oil, gas, and metallic and non-metallic minerals. Contributions may include studies of sedimentary basins and petroleum systems, source rock organic geochemistry, reservoir and seal characterization, and conventional and unconventional systems. We also invite studies on oil and gas exploration and production, geological and geochemical reservoir modeling. In the field of mineral resources, the session includes metallogenetic evolution of Amazon Craton deposits, mineral prospecting, mining economy and legislation, ornamental stones, industrial and agro minerals, gemology, mineral technology, energy transition, geoprocessing, and applied geophysics. Integrated approaches using geophysical, geochronological, and geotechnical data to evaluate resource potential are welcome.
Responsible Committee: Carlos Eduardo Lucas Vieira (UFRR), Lena Simone Barata Souza (UFRR)
Given the importance of water resource use and management in the Amazon region and its environmental and sustainability challenges, this session invites studies on surface and groundwater, as well as ecosystem dynamics and modeling of continental and coastal environments. Topics include water and environmental resource management, exploitation, contamination, sustainability, and integrated uses. Broader environmental issues such as climate change, natural and anthropogenic disasters, urban geology, environmental geochemistry, and solid waste and effluent disposal are also welcome.
Responsible Committee: Stélio Soares Tavares Junior (UFRR), Solange dos Santos Costa (UFAM)
This session invites research on geophysical methods applied to dam safety, mineral exploration, aquifer studies, geological mapping, environmental monitoring, forensic geology, basin characterization, and petroleum exploration. Submissions involving advanced technologies such as AI, cloud computing, numerical modeling and inversion, high-resolution remote sensing, drone-based geospatial data acquisition, augmented and virtual reality, GIS, photogeology, digital mapping, 3D subsurface modeling, and geostatistical analysis are highly encouraged.
