Salvador Maria Augusta M. da Silva Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) quaternary geomorphology coastal dynamics coastal sedimentation Bathymetric and sedimentological data from water depths between 3 and 28 meters are the basis of a detailedbathymetric map of the Itaipú Embayment and an understanding of its sedimentary dynamics. Shallowerthan 16 meters the contours are parallel to the shoreline whereas the morphology of the deeper bottom isinfluenced by the Menina, Mãe, and Pai islands. Medium sand is prevalent, with local variations in moreprotected or less protected areas. Minor amount of black mud possibly derives from the Itaipú Lagoon.Siliciclastic granules and pebbles may be relict. The Itaipú Embayment’s bottom morphology is controlledby stormy waves and the calmer easternmost part of the embayment presents a tendency to accumulate finersediments. 2002 artículo científico 0001-3765 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=32774109 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=327 Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências application/pdf Academia Brasileira de Ciências Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.74
