Long-term hydro-sedimentary dynamics of the Ucayali River (Amazon Basin) revealed through combined observations, remote sensing, and SWAT-Amazon modelling [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System SciencesThe Amazon basin is undergoing increasing environmental changes, potentially approaching a climatic tipping point in the coming decades. Understanding how these changes affect water and sediment fluxes is key for constraining large-scale biogeochemical ...

Seepage exchange in an Amazon floodplain lake [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 1995 Exchange of water between the lake and the surrounding groundwater system was computed for a permanent lake on the central Amazon floodplain (Lake Calado) from an empirical seepage model incorporating 240 direct measurements of seepage from the lakebed and seasonal changes in lake stage and morphometry.

Silicate rock weathering and atmospheric/soil CO2 uptake in the Amazon basin estimated from river water geochemistry: seasonal and spatial variations [PDF]
, 2003 Using the data of the CAMREX project (1982–1984) on the water geochemistry of the Amazon river and its main tributaries, it was possible to assess the silicate rock weathering processes and the associated consumption of atmospheric/soil CO2, taking into

Estimation of the Madeira floodplain dynamics from 2008 to 2018
Frontiers in Water, 2022 The Madeira is one of the major tributaries of the Amazon River and is characterized by a large alluvial floodplain throughout the stream continuum. This study aims to better assess the hydrological functioning of the Madeira Basin over its alluvial ...

The Catfish Fishing in the Amazon Floodplain Lakes [PDF]
Oceanography & Fisheries Open access Journal, 2018 This study is about the spatial and temporal variability of the Hypophthalmus catfish fishery in the Amazonian floodplain lakes and the relationship among commercial CPUE, environmental and economic variables. The fishing productivity varies according to the fishing ground which varies due to the contribution of a set of variables. The most outstanding

Impacts of a large hydroelectric dam on the Madeira River (Brazil) on floodplain avifauna
Acta Amazonica, 2021 Hydroelectric dams represent an important threat to seasonally flooded environments in the Amazon basin. We aimed to evaluate how a dam in the Madeira River, one of the largest tributaries of the Amazonas River, affected floodplain avifauna.
