In Lyra et al. (2017), regarding the sentence in page 4, section 2.4, first column, second paragraph:

“The MRRJ is located in the state of Rio de Janeiro. This area of approximately 5 million km2 with a population of almost 12 million people (CEPERJ 2010) is the second largest urban agglomeration in Brazil and the twentieth largest in the world (IBGE 2010). The MRSP is approximately 8 million km2 with a population of approximately 21 million people (IBGE 2010).”

The sentence should read:

“The MRRJ is located in the state of Rio de Janeiro. This area of approximately 5 thousand km2 with a population of almost 12 million people (CEPERJ 2010) is the second largest urban agglomeration in Brazil and the twentieth largest in the world (IBGE 2010). The MRSP is approximately 8 thousand km2 with a population of approximately 21 million people (IBGE 2010).”
