Spatial-temporal variation of dissolved inorganic material in the Amazon basin [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2015 The Amazon River basin is important in the contribution of dissolved material to oceans (4% worldwide). The aim of this work was to study the spatial and the temporal variability of dissolved inorganic materials in the main rivers of the Amazon basin ...

Sediment budget in the Ucayali River basin, an Andean tributary of the Amazon River [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2015 Abstract. Formation of mountain ranges results from complex coupling between lithospheric deformation, mechanisms linked to subduction and surface processes: weathering, erosion, and climate. Today, erosion of the eastern Andean cordillera and sub-Andean foothills supplies over 99% of the sediment load passing through the Amazon Basin. Denudation rates

Increased floodplain inundation in the Amazon since 1980
Environmental Research Letters, 2023 Extensive floodplains throughout the Amazon basin support important ecosystem services and influence global water and carbon cycles. A recent change in the hydroclimatic regime of the region, with increased rainfall in the northern portions of the basin,

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

Overview of Systematic Monitoring Networks for Surface Water Quality in the Amazon River Basin. [PDF]
Environ ManageAbstract Water quality monitoring is essential for water resource management, especially when carried out systematically (continuously, standardized, and with data available), where it is possible to statistically analyze each parameter and generate a historical series.
