Growing concerns surround the future of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
(AMOC) and its impacts on tropical regions, particularly due to changes in the dynamics of …

Large rivers are dynamic systems whose evolution depends on both internal and external
forcing, particularly tectonics, sea level, and climate. Associating fluvial responses to a …

The development and application of luminescence dating and dosimetry techniques have
grown exponentially in the last several decades. Luminescence methods provide age …

We investigated the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and thermoluminescence (TL)
characteristics of quartz from sediments and parent rocks across South America. OSL and …

Modern precipitation over northeastern (NE) South America is strongly controlled by the
seasonal meridional migration of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Ample …

Abstract Tropical South American hydroclimate sustains the world's highest biodiversity and
hundreds of millions of people. Whitin this region, Amazonia and northeastern Brazil have …

The properties of the quartz luminescence signal have been shown to be a useful tool for
sediment provenance analysis. These provenance studies are based on the sensitivity of the …

Finding the source or provenance of quartz grains occurring in a specific location allows us
to constrain their transport pathway, which is crucial information to solve diverse problems in …

Eolian systems are sensitive to vegetation and climate changes, but also to the sediment
supplied by neighbor depositional systems. This sensitivity is manifested in the alternation …

Luminescence characteristics of quartz and feldspar allow to discriminate sediments from
different source areas. Particularly, sensitivity of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) …
