Abstract

The fan contains much of the material eroded from the continent within the Amazon drainage basin. The record of land climate in equatorial South America, the source region of the Amazon River, is of critical importance to the understanding of Quaternary climatic history. Equatorial regions play a pivotal role in the atmospheric transport of heat to higher latitudes. Land climate records in such regions are short. For the Amazon Basin, few records extend back to the last glacial maximum, so climatic conditions at that time are poorly known. An attempt is made to determine a detailed record of land climate through study of the terrestrial (organic and inorganic) components of fan sediments. -from Authors
