- Andean basins contain a unique sedimentary record reflecting mountain building processes along thewestern margin of South America throughout its entire Meso-Cenozoic evolution (Horton, 2018). Inparticular, the retroarc foreland basins in west-central Argentina contain an archive of sedimentaccumulation rates, provenance, paleodrainage and deformation timings related to the growth of theSouthern Central Andes (27°-46°30?S; Ramos, 1999). However, this dataset has non-unique tectonicinterpretations, resulting in contrasting geodynamic scenarios. During the last decade, paleoaltimetrystudies using proxies to obtain the stable isotopic composition of paleoprecipitation have proved to be apowerful tool when assessing such contrasting scenarios, not only by reconstructing topography, butalso by adding a key element towards understanding changes in regional climate and biologicaldiversification (Mulch, 2016).The stable isotopic composition of precipitation reflects the degree of isotopic distillation during rainoutas an airmass moves across a landscape. Thus, materials that record this geochemical variable canprovide an indication of the present or past elevations along a moisture transport pathway. As volcanicashes are deposited on a landscape, they readily hydrate, providing a record of the isotopic compositionof ambient water over a timescale of 1-10 thousand years. Following hydration, water uptake ceasesand this initial signature is preserved, providing a long-term record of stable hydrogen isotopes (ID) ofpaleo-precipitation. Therefore, given that the activity of the Andean magmatic arc has resulted in anear-continuous production of felsic ashes for more than 65 million years, the stable isotope content ofhydrated volcanic glass from the Malargüe foreland basin (35°S) was extracted to analyze itstopographic evolution and compare it to the geological record.The ID of volcanic glasses preserved within strata of the Malargüe basin suggest high-standingtopography since at least 55 Ma, along with an increase in orographic fractionation during middleEocene to Oligocene times, followed by a decrease between the middle Miocene and the Pliocene.While the first event coincides with low accumulation rates during lacustrine and distal fluvial depositionin the basin, the second episode overlaps with high accumulation rates and proximal fluvial and alluvialsedimentation. These results support the hypothesis of a pre-Neogene orographic barrier and could bereflecting topographic changes associated with deep mantle processes that have been affecting theSouth American continent throughout most of the Cenozoic (Flament et al., 2015).Flament, N., Gurnis, M., Müller, R.D., Bower, D.J., and Husson, L., 2015.
