The uplift of the Andes has been recognized as a key driver of South America climatic regimes and lowland Amazonian landscapes, whose changes through time were directly or indirectly crucial to Amazonia becoming the most diverse continental ecosystem on Earth. However, the timing, rates, and mechanisms that link the recent growth of the Andes (ca. 10Ma) to regional climate and physical la…
Despite the growing recognition that the fluvial dynamics plays an important role in the Amazonian landscape evolution and biota diversification, information about the timing and mechanisms of the Amazonian fluvial system through time is lacking. This knowledge gap results from the lack of robust ages for the Late Cenozoic geological records, and absence of proxies suitable for comparison…
The Amazon rainforest, globally renowned and scientifically requested for its exuberant biodiversity, shelters the world's largest river basin. Despite the growing recognition that the fluvial dynamics of a region play an important role in landscape evolution, information about the evolution of the Amazon River basin is still scarce. The Juruá and Purus rivers, in the southwestern portion…
The effect of late Cenozoic climate changes and mountain building events on sediment flux derived from the eastern Andes has a critical role for terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems because it shapes the distribution of non-flooding (terra firme) and seasonally flooding (várzea and igapó) areas in lowland Amazonia, and controls the supply of nutrients to freshwater and marine ecosystems. Th…
Transcontinental fluvial systems are very dynamic and largely influence the distribution of animal and plant species. In Amazonia, the Quaternary hydroclimatic changes (e.g., precipitation and river flow) were essential for the spatial structuring of the complex mosaic of non-flooding (terra firme) and seasonally flooding (várzea and igapó) terrains, thus being a key factor in the spatial…

The main aim of this scientific journalism proposal is to promote the dissemination to a broad and diverse audience of scientific concepts and results related to the project "From sand grains to mountain chains: linking recent Andean orogenesis and climate changes to the assembly of lowland Amazonia (PAALE) (grant #2022/03007-5)". To achieve this goal, digital platforms and social network…

Geological archives like river terraces and continental and marine sediment cores register environmental conditions through proxies in an indirect way. Therefore, the appropriate reconstruction of landscape changes along thousand to million years relies on understanding the relationship between the modern signals and their natural controls. Here, we will determine the spatial distribution…

The present-day landscape of the Andes and the Amazon is a result of the tectonic, climatic, and fluvial processes that shaped them over geological time. Thus, investigating modern deposits is key to understanding past natural processes and controls on landscape evolution. This Research Internships Abroad (BEPE) proposes to investigate the spatial variation of the catchment erosion rates …
The late Cenozoic (<23 Ma) is characterized by significant and well-documented environmental changes on all continents. During this period, the uplift of the Andes and climatic variations played a fundamental role in the evolution of the physical aspects of the Amazonia landscape, promoting its rich biodiversity. This doctorate project investigates the paleogeographic evolution of the Caq…
The Amazonian watershed is the greatest in the world and the birthplace of one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. The growing knowledge of the role of the fluvial dynamic in the evolution of the Amazonian landscape contrasts with few available absolute ages for the sedimentary deposits. Enhancing the geochronological dataset of these deposits is crucial as it allows the paleohydr…
The Amazon basin is the largest in the world and cradle to one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. Biogeographical studies have suggested that the evolution of the Amazonian river system played a critical role for species diversification. The main hypotheses suggest that modern Amazonian river system acquired its transcontinental W-E configuration during the Late Neogene due to ch…
