GOT IN SCIENCE
The magazine Science, one of the most respected in academia, has just published research led by Professor Carlos Roberto de Souza Filho, from the Institute of Geosciences (IG) at Unicamp. The study, which brings as co-authors Philip Bland, from the Open University (England), and nine other scientists from other countries, contradicts a thesis of international repercussion, defended by a prestigious American geologist, that depressions found in the Argentine Pampas were caused by impact of a large meteorite between 5 thousand and 10 thousand years ago. In an interview with Jornal da Unicamp, Souza Filho reaffirms that the so-called "features", some five kilometers long, are the result of erosion by winds.
