Success Cases

Speleological studies in general

Context

Assessment of speleological potential, prospecting, area of influence studies, relevance studies, monitoring in mine operation areas, in order to assess potential impacts.

Methodology

Surveys in speleological databases; walking/mapping in the field; detailed topographic surveys; biospeleological and geospeleological surveys, monitoring of particulate matter; photographic monitoring; physical integrity monitoring; monitoring of cave fauna.

Results

Mapping of existing cavities in the Area Directly Affected by the project and its surroundings; proposal to change the area of influence; determination of the degree of relevance of the cavities; assessment of impacts resulting from operational activities and proposal of follow-up, mitigation and compensation measures.

Hydrosedimentological Monitoring

Hydrosedimentological monitoring is essential to evaluate environmental impacts resulting from sedimentation, erosion, and their consequences on aquatic ecosystems. These processes affect water quality, sedimentological dynamics, and aquatic biodiversity, compromising the environmental health of reservoirs and other water bodies.

Environmental investigation of liabilities

Development of the Preliminary Assessment Report and the Confirmatory Investigation Plan in areas of paralyzed mines.

Services in Ichthyofauna

Evaluation of the influence of dredging on schools of fish and the evaluation of impacts on the drift of eggs and larvae (ichthyoplankton) in the Paraopeba River, in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
