This paper provides an updated review of the most relevant scientific literature related to the
hydroclimate of the Andes. The Andes, the longest cordillera in the world, faces major …

An important discussion has recently called the attention of sedimentologists and
geomorphologists to the dominant fluvial styles preserved in the geological record. While …

Rainfall variability in the Amazon basin (AB) is analysed for the 1964-2003 period. It is
based on 756 pluviometric stations distributed throughout the AB countries. For the first time …

We present major and trace element data on the suspended and dissolved phases of the
Amazon River and its main tributaries. The Sr isotopic composition of the dissolved load is …

This study focuses on the major and trace element composition of suspended sediments
transported by the world's largest rivers. Its main purpose is to answer the following …

Increased energy demand has led to plans for building many new dams in the western
Amazon, mostly in the Andean region. Historical data and mechanistic scenarios are used to …

The daily variability of river suspended sediment concentration (Cs) and related yield (Y) is
studied at 60 global stations. The data set covers natural conditions (eg pre-reservoir data) …

Continental-scale rivers with a sandy bed sequester a significant proportion of their
sediment load in flood plains. The spatial extent and depths of such deposits have been …

Abstract The Bolivian Andes flank one of Earth's major topographic features and dominate
sediment input into the Amazon Basin. Millennial‐scale erosion rates and dominant controls …

Despite being considered beneficial by providing a clean and renewable source of energy,
the construction of hydroelectric dams has extremely negative implications for Amazonian …
