Jackson Douglas Silva da Paz

Jackson "Jack" Paz has been teaching sedimentary Geology and other associated lectures at UFRR (Universidade Federal de Roraima, Northern Brazil) since July/2016 as adjunct Professor. Mr Paz completed his MSc in Geology (Focus: Sedimentary features of lacustrine deposits) at UFPA (Universidade Federal do Pará, Brazil) after earning his undergraduate degree at Universidade Federal do Amazonas. The focus of his thesis was the stratigraphy, petrography and stable isotope behavior of the Aptian Codó Formation, located at the cretaceus passive margin of the Brazilian Platform in the Parnaíba Basin and Grajaú-São Luiz Basin. He hypothesized that deposits are predominantly lacustrine in origin instead of a lagune deposit or a tidal-bearing deposit. Main subjects are: cretaceous continental basins, fosforites and continental controls on sedimentation.

É professor da Universidade Federal de Roraima desde julho/2016. Possui graduação em Geologia pela Universidade Federal do Amazonas (1998), mestrado em Geologia e Geoquímica pela Universidade Federal do Pará (2000) e doutorado em Geologia e Geoquímica pela Universidade Federal do Pará (2005).
