Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

The present work about the study of environmental fragility to linear erosive processes in the urban perimeter of Rondonópolis brings new adaptations and complements to the methodologies and models of environmental fragilities to erosive processes, especially those carried out in urbanized areas or with tendencies for urbanization. It was found that the proposed analysis model, integrating new geoenvironmental variables, indispensable for the holistic diagnosis of urban-environmental systems, characterized the loss of material by linear erosion in the current scenario in a more coherent way.
