Levantamentos geofísicos para a delimitação da margem continental brasileira

Abstract

This study describes the activities developed by the Leplac Project to establish the outer limit of the Brazilian continental shelf in line with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Geophysical data, particularly multichannel reflection seismic profiles, have supported the produc tion of numerous scientif ic works contributing in a decisive way to improving scientif ic and legal knowledge of the seaward limit of Brazil, in the region termed as the Blue Amazon
