                         drainage systems. However, a large distributary system has been 
                         preliminarily detected in the between the Negro and Branco Rivers, 
                         which suggests the existence of a megafan depositional system, 
                         herein named Demini Megafan. Application remote sensing is 
                         essential for characterization this type of landform. This work 
                         aims to explore remote sensing products in order to characterize 
                         the morphology of the Demini Megafan. The work was based on 
                         Landsat-TM images and Digital Elevation Model derived from the 
                         Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (DEM-SRTM), which was combined 
                         with geological and floristic information derived from available 
                         cartographic maps. DEM-SRTM was applied to provide hypsometric 
                         analysis and highlight the topography applying a color palette, 
                         procedures that helped to define the megafan morphology. This 
                         morphology was additionally characterized using band 5 of 
                         Landsat-TM images acquired from both dry and wet seasons 
                         considering a set of dates. Principal component analysis (PCA) 
                         applied to this products provided the flood variability. The 
                         results of this analysis revealed a N-S trending triangular 
                         morphology, with slope averaging 0,072°. This area displays 
                         distributary drainage systems either abandoned or in process of 
                         abandonment, which are in agreement with the presence of a megafan 
                         system between the Negro and Branco rivers.",
