Wave-dominated barrier, Cassino barrier, GPR records interpretation

Resumen

Resumo: O artigo de Fontoura et al. (2024) apresentou resultados baseados na interpretação de registros de GPR de boa qualidade. No entanto, após a apreciação e análise do artigo, concluímos que Fontoura et al. (2024) não conseguiram demonstrar que falhas de grande escala induzidas pela gravidade controlam a subsidência mecânica e a sedimentação das cristas de praia progradantes na planície costeira de Quinta-Cassino, no sul do Brasil. Nestes comentários, o artigo de Fontoura et al. (2024) é criticado devido a: 1- falta de apresentação de dados apropriados que apoiem a ocorrência de potenciais eventos tectônicos recentes na área de estudo, 2- falta de critérios e interpretações erradas dos registros GPR, 3- desconsideração da existência de dados diretos de 15 furos de perfuração que poderiam ter sido usados ​​para validar seus dados exclusivamente indiretos, 4- discussão muito pobre (na verdade, nenhuma discussão) de seus resultados com estudos anteriores e 5- interpretação falha e totalmente incorreta de uma barreira costeira dominada por ondas como um sistema deposicional deltaico.
