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 Late Cenozoic (Pliocene and Quaternary) is characterized by significant and well-documented environmental changes around the Earth. During this period, tectonic plate convergence events and regional climate changes played a fundamental role in the evolution of the physical landscapes in the Andes-Amazonian system, such as the uplift of the Andes Mountains, the configuration of the dra…
The formation and reorganization of Amazon fluvial systems has been widely discussed regarding its role in the promotion of the Amazonian biodiversity. In order to better understand the landscape evolution and, thus, to reconstruct the palaeoceanographic history of the Amazon drainage, it is crucial to have information about the sediments provenance associated to the depositional ages of …
The Brazilian central-west region has been undergoing significant transformations in its production system since the 1970s, expanding the agro-industrial and energy sectors. This expansion has been characterized by the conversion of native vegetation into agricultural lands and the increase in hydroelectric power plants, which are potential causes of impacts on natural systems, especially…
The floodplains of large rivers in the Amazon Basin are characterized by a great diversity of environments, called Várzea sub-environments. The Várzeas are ecosystems that have unique ecological properties, high biodiversity and are susceptible by anthropogenic impacts, because they are intimately related with the fluvial dynamics. Thus, study these environments is essential to draw plann…
Anthropogenic actions have rapidly changed the coverage and use in the Upper Paraguay River Basin (UPR) region since 1970s, affecting the production of sediments in the slopes and directly impacting the rivers that drain into the Pantanal wetland. However, studies that quantify the impacts of anthropogenic activities on the sedimentary processes of UPR river systems are still scarce, maki…

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…
