Longshore current variations, Guyana, South America.
Integrated nearshore currents composed of longshore and circulation currents were tested against the continuity of water mass equation (Galvin and Eagleson, 1965), for a dissipative, barred transect of Guyana's Batchelor's Adventure beach. Although there were considerable variations in beach energy …

Dynamic Topography of the Borborema Province, South America
The Borborema Province is located in the northeast corner of the Brazilian Shield. It is characterized by a positive long-wavelength free-air gravity anomaly of ∼ +30 mGal, which is consistent with sub-crustal dynamic support. This inference is corroborated by the presence of positive residual …

ISOTOPIC CONSTRAINTS ON ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE TRANSPORT PROCESSES IN SOUTH AMERICA
… moisture transport in tropical and subtropical South America. Satellite-measured hydrogen isotope ratios (δD), mixing ratios (q), and outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) show that upwind convective intensity controls the seasonal variability in isotopic ratios in tropical Andean water vapor and …

Fluvial Depositional Processes of a Tropical River, Colombia, South America
… depositional processes along the Rio Magui in south-western Columbia are primarily controlled by localized uplift downstream of the mouth of the river, sediment sources that produce both coarse-and-fine-grained load, and numerous over-bank flows caused by torrential rainfall.</p>

Investigating flat-slab subduction underneath South America using 4D numerical simulations
The Nazca Plate recycling underneath South America is an ideal example of modern subduction, which provides an opportunity to study mechanisms of flat-slab subduction and the nature of mantle seismic structures. Subduction occurring at this location is characterized by along-trench variation from …

Epeirogeny of South America and Evolution of Parnaíba Basin, Northeast Brazil
It is recognised that some proportion of South American large-scale topography has been generated by convection within the Earth's mantle. Yet, spatial and temporal patterns of dynamic topography remain poorly understood. Variation of present-day dynamic topography can be mapped in the oceans by …
