Carlos Furtado

Carlos Furtado is a physicist affiliated with the Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB) and a co-author of a recent academic study that reexamines the location of Pedro Álvares Cabral's landing in Brazil. The research, published in the Journal of Navigation, suggests that Cabral may have first reached the coastline of Rio Grande do Norte, thus contributing to the historical discourse surrounding Brazil's discovery.
