During the course, also developed research activities in the field of paleoclimatology based on the application of oxygen isotope in modern speleothems (last 100 years) from the State of MS – Brazil in reconstituting paleoprecipitation. Developed  scientific / technical internships for one year in the laboratory of stable isotopes of the Geosciences Institute of the University of São Paulo in which conducted analyses of isotopic δ18O δ16O in different samples.
