Particularly in semiarid regions, where precipitation is exceeded by potential evapotranspiration, mountain catchments are important water reservoirs for the population settled in the nearby lowlands. This study investigates the spatio-temporal variability of water stable isotopes and hydrochemical properties in the semiarid Huaco catchment, located in the Sierras Pampeanas of the Andean foreland in Northwestern Argentina. Stream water samples were collected across four sub-catchments along an altitudinal gradient. The results indicate that electrical conductivity and chloride concentrations increase downstream (from 148.1 to 307.2 μS cm<sup>−1</sup> for the former and from 17.7 to 46.4 ppm for the latter) while water stable isotopic composition (δ<sup>18</sup>O and δ<sup>2</sup>H) remain uniform across the altitudinal gradient (with averages of −5.1 ‰ and −24 ‰, respectively). These spatial variations are indicative of increasing evaporative concentration with decreasing altitude, also exhibiting decreasing streamflow with decreasing altitude. Moreover, water is diluted (with TDS up to 175 mg L<sup>−1</sup>), alkaline (pH = 8.2–8.5), and transitions from bicarbonate-mixed to bicarbonate-sodium types downstream. Within the year 2022, major ions showed slight seasonal variation. Conversely, water stable isotopes remained constant within the temporal scale. This suggests groundwater as a uniform source feeding streamflow. Additionally, concentration-streamflow relationships of electrical conductivity and chloride suggest predominantly chemostatic behavior, highlighting limited variability in solute concentrations despite changes in streamflow. This integrative isotopic, hydrochemical, and hydrometric approach provides insights into the hydrological dynamics in this semiarid mountain catchment, improving the understanding of hydrological processes in these environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50047,"journal":{"name":"Journal of South American Earth Sciences","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 105717"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144763970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ramos has discussed aspects concerning the evolution of the Andes' structure, their basement, associated magmatism, basin evolution, geotectonic context, seismicity, and gravimetry. Deep thrust ramps associated with Andean structuration were interpreted by Ramos as due to crustal inheritance, either associated with Triassic extensional structures related to Pangea breakup such as lithospheric structures associated with Paleozoic accretions against the southwestern margin of Gondwana (ancient Rio de la Plata craton) from Early Cambrian onwards. Thus, in conjunction with embryonic proposals of other groups, a series of proposed amalgamated continental blocks were defined that explained the development of Paleozoic sutures, magmatic and orogenic belts, associated with ancient oceanic subductions and continental collisions: The Early Cambrian Pampean collision, the re-accretion of the southern part of the Arequipa-Antofalla terrane (Arequipa microplate) and the Cuyania collision in late Ordovician times, the Late Devonian accretion of the Chilenia terrane, the accretion of the Mejillonia and Pichidangui terranes and the collision of Patagonia in late Carboniferous times. Early hypotheses have diversified through time in multiple lines of scientific research taken from several scientific groups all across the world. We discuss their development in fertile ulterior scientific fields, their growth, and eventual transformation. Victor Ramos' scientific career exemplifies more than half a century of scientific growth in the tectonic evolution knowledge of the Andes and all the South America in general, and the description of his scientific work exposes achievements and limitations to his models that have allowed the birth of new theories.

The proposed framework for LULC change detection allows the use of satellite images with different spatial and spectral resolutions. The representation space is tested on multispectral versions of benchmark datasets (Salinas, Indian Pines, Kennedy Space Center, and Botswana), obtaining classification accuracies up to 96 %. The proposed representation space significantly improves classification accuracy (up to 11 %) and outperforms existing multispectral classification approaches in the literature. Finally, the LULC change detection framework is tested on a time series of Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 images corresponding to a drainage basin located in the eastern region of Antioquia, Colombia. The main advantage of this framework is that it does not modify the spatial resolution of the images in the dataset, favoring the integration of images from multiple sensors and proving useful for change detection in regions with limited data.

A Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) integrated with geospatial techniques was used to map areas most susceptible to erosion. Several factors were considered: topography, land use and cover, soil erodibility, landslide susceptibility, proximity to rivers, time of concentration, and pasture quality. The criteria were analyzed using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), which allowed for weighting the relative importance of each factor based on expert consultation. The factors were combined using two multi-criteria methods: Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) and Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA). The maps indicated that the highest erosion risk areas are mainly concentrated in the upper and middle parts of the basin, associated with steep slopes and degraded pastures. Furthermore, it was found that regions close to rivers also presented high priority for intervention. The OWA method, by varying the level of risk and compensation, made it possible to simulate different decision-making scenarios.

In the Southern Central Andes (SCA) of Argentina (36°S), a rock avalanche dammed the Cajón del Bayo basin in 1986, creating Baya Lake. This study reconstructs the historical evolution of the basin, focusing on key geomorphological changes including the rock avalanche, lake formation and subsequent outburst flood. The analysis included: a) a geomorphological mapping, identification of outburst flood deposits and remote sensing of landscape evolution; b) sedimentological description of landslide facies and lake-level variations; c) landslide-dam characterisation and stability assessment; and d) a hydrometeorological analysis of temperature and precipitation to contextualise the LLOF event. Results show that a 4.7 hm<sup>3</sup> rock avalanche impounded the Baya Lake. Geomorphic stability indices yielded contrasted results: while one classified the dam as stable, another indicated instability. Ultimately, the dam collapsed, triggering a LLOF that released 0.14 hm<sup>3</sup> of water from the lake and 0.3 hm<sup>3</sup> of sediments eroded from the dam, exposing its internal structure. Although geomorphic impacts were evident immediately downstream the lake, the event was not detected at the nearest gauging station, and a regional flood frequency analysis indicate low probability of occurrence of the empirically estimated peak discharge. This highlights how LLOFs occurred in remote areas may go unnoticed and how the increased discharge from small tributaries, though significant locally, can be attenuated in larger rivers. These findings underscore the importance of identifying and studying LLOFs at both local and regional scales in the SCA, where such events are underreported and may differ from global cases.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50047,"journal":{"name":"Journal of South American Earth Sciences","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 105710"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144724101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
