Long-term responses of maar lakes water levels to climate and groundwater variability in central Mexico J. South Am. Earth Sci. (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Raúl A. Silva-Aguilera, Oscar Escolero, Javier Alcocer, Alex Correa Metrio, Gloria Vilaclara, Socorro Lozano García
Besides water level (WL) variability, several lakes worldwide have shown water level decline trends and total desiccation. Closed basin lakes, like most maar lakes, have wider water level fluctuations than exorheic lakes. Studies of maar lakes have found paleoenvironmental evidence of water level responses to climate and groundwater inflow changes; however, historical studies of the effects of these

Origin and evolution of shallowing-upward clastic successions: A case example from the Lower Cretaceous Agrio Formation, Neuquén Basin, Argentina J. South Am. Earth Sci. (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-02-29 Ainara Irastorza, Carlos Zavala, Débora Mical Campetella, Martin Turienzo, Natalia Sánchez, Trinidad Durán, Gaspar Peñalva
Shallowing-upward clastic successions are very common in ancient shelfal systems. These deposits are commonly described as “parasequences” controlled by high-frequency sea-level changes. Nevertheless, the real significance of these parasequences in terms of depositional environments is controversial. This contribution discusses the origin of shallowing-upward successions from the middle-late Hauterivian

Importance of conservation units in the biogeochemistry of Cerrado streams J. South Am. Earth Sci. (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-01-27 Jéssica Carneiro de Souza, Bianca Souza Cana Verde, Romário Oliveira de Santana, Daniela Mariano Lopes da Silva
The Chapada Diamantina National Park (CDNP) is located in the state of Bahia in Brazil and has as predominant vegetation the Campos Rupestres. Being a Conservation Unit (CU), it is hypothesized that into the streams that would be located in the CDNP would have lower concentrations of nutrients when compared to the streams around the limit of the CDNP, these streams outside of the CU would be more susceptible

Facies analysis and paleoenvironment of the Poti Formation in the Itaueira and Floriano region: Contribution to the Carboniferous depositional history of the Parnaíba basin J. South Am. Earth Sci. (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-01-20 João Vicente Tavares Calandrini de Azevedo, Zenilda Vieira Batista, Mário Ferreira de Lima Filho, Sonia Maria Oliveira Agostinho, Emmanuel Franco Neto, Willian Alexandre Lima de Moura, Thamara Welle Rodrigues Barbosa Van
The Parnaíba intracratonic basin exhibits sedimentation that reflects the different evolutionary stages of climate and paleogeography in the West Gondwana supercontinent. In this regard, we conducted a study comprising the Poti Formation in the southeast of Itaueira and Floriano regions in Piauí State, within the Parnaíba Basin. The facies analysis enabled the establishment of the depositional model

Genetic implications of vein texture and mineralogy at the Au-bearing El Morado mining district, Sierras Pampeanas, San Juan, Argentina J. South Am. Earth Sci. (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-01-24 Ana Cecilia Mugas Lobos, Gladis Noemí Palacio Balderramo, Brígida Castro de Machuca
El Morado mining district is located in Sierra de La Huerta, in the Sierras Pampeanas of San Juan province, Argentina. It comprises numerous Au-bearing quartz veins hosted by intensely deformed igneous-metamorphic units of lower Paleozoic age. In the El Morado mining district, Maira mine is the only deposit producing gold at the present time. Quartz veins in this mine and surroundings, occur in concordance

MaxEnt machine learning model predicts high groundwater potential areas in a fractured volcanic aquifer system J. South Am. Earth Sci. (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-01-22 Stefano Ballardin, Rossano Belladona, Tiago De Vargas, Volnei Dal Bosco, Taison Anderson Bortolin, Pedro Antonio Roehe Reginato
Groundwater constitutes a vital resource for public water supply, and thus, it is imperative to recognize the areas of highest potential for increasing availability. The present study employs the MaxEnt model to discern the most favorable areas for locating high-yield wells in Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil, where the Serra Geral Aquifer System, a fractured volcanic aquifer, emerges

Quaternary sedimentation over the Precambrian basement of Borborema Province (NE, Brazil): Tectonic and climatic controls J. South Am. Earth Sci. (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-01-18 Rizelda Regadas de Carvalho, Viviane Khoury Asfora, Willian Alexandre Lima de Moura, José Antonio Barbosa, Germano Mário Silva Ramos, Virgínio Henrique de Miranda Lopes Neumann
This study characterizes the existence of Quaternary sediments in the Transversal Zone of the Borborema Province (Northeastern Brazil). The sediments comprise paleosoils, unconsolidated sands and gravel deposits, which overlie Precambrian basement rocks. The new data on these deposits includes sedimentological and stratigraphic aspects, and age definition through quartz optically stimulated luminescence

Hydrological changes in Serra da Mantiqueira Range watersheds (Southeast Brazil) J. South Am. Earth Sci. (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-01-20 Aline Satie Teramoto, Mateus Ricardo Nogueira Vilanova
The Serra da Mantiqueira Environmental Protection Area is one of the most important Atlantic Forest biodiversity hotspots in the World, and one of the main water sources for the Brazilian Southeast Region. In this study, we analyze the existence and characteristics of streamflow changes in two watersheds (Sapucaí-Mirim and Sapucaí-Guaçu River watersheds) of the Serra da Mantiqueira Range, and if these

Fire regime shift associated with the European colonization in Mesoamerica J. South Am. Earth Sci. (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-01-17 Esperanza Torres-Rodríguez, Margarita Caballero, Blanca L. Figueroa-Rangel, Guadalupe Iriliana López-Caballero, Socorro Lozano-García
This study reconstructs fire history of Lake Atezca, Hidalgo, revealing two significant phases of plant biomass burning: one from ∼1140 to 1523 CE and another from ∼1523 to 2005 CE. The first phase shows frequent fires, likely linked to pre-Hispanic agricultural practices. The second phase, starting around the time of the Spanish Conquest, showed a decrease in biomass burning, indicating a major shift

New palynological record for the Puesto Albornoz Formation (Golfo San Jorge basin, Argentina): Stratigraphic and paleoenvironmental implications J. South Am. Earth Sci. (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-01-19 Valeria S. Perez Loinaze, Magdalena Llorens, Agustín R. Rodriguez, José O. Allard, Nicolás Foix
Palynomorph assemblages were recovered from the Puesto Albornoz Formation (Golfo San Jorge Basin, Southern Argentina) at its type locality. The scarcity of outcrops with a continental Lower Cretaceous sedimentary record in this basin, and its marginal position in the western sector of the studied area, make Puesto Albornoz a unique and key locality for determining the timing of the basin evolution

Standards for shallow landslide identification in Brazil: Spatial trends and inventory mapping J. South Am. Earth Sci. (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-01-19 Helen Cristina Dias, Carlos Henrique Grohmann
Mapping shallow landslide inventories represents the initial stage in conducting susceptibility, vulnerability, and risk analyses. The identification of areas with a history of landslides, both past and current events, enables the detection of spatio-temporal patterns and facilitates the evaluation of morphological and geological factors. Shallow landslides are frequent in Brazil, especially along

Stratigraphy and drilling geomechanics of a thick salt section: The Ariri Formation in the eastern portion of the Santos Basin J. South Am. Earth Sci. (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-01-18 Hugo Marx Gonzaga, Tiago Amâncio Novo, José Thomaz Gama da Silva, Tobias Maia Rabelo Fonte Boa, Luciano Costa Gonçalves, Marcelo da Silva Cordeiro
Borehole instability costs millions of dollars to the oil industry as a consequence of the non-productive time of drilling operations. Stratigraphic and drilling geomechanics studies of salts layers of the Ariri Formation offer valuable clues to control the instability referred to above. The study area is located in a layered and thickened zone that was created by a compressive halokinetic deformation
