Descripción
Constraining the influence of different moisture sources across the flanks of mountain ranges isimportant for understanding tectonic, geomorphic, and paleoclimate problems at geologic timescales, aswell as evaluating climate change and water resources on human time scales. The stable isotope compositionsof stream waters and precipitation are an ideal tool for this task. This study reports the results of a2 year monthly precipitation sampling campaign on the eastern flank of the Andes in the Mendoza Province of Argentina, which began in September 2008. A total of 104 precipitation samples spanning some 2500mof relief from nine sites were analyzed for dD and d18O. In addition, 81 samples from Andean riverscollected on both sides of the range in 2002 and 2007 were analyzed. We employ a Rayleigh isotope fractionation modeling approach to explore spatial and temporal variations in precipitation and river water compositions. The results indicate that precipitation on the eastern slopes of the Andes at ~33S, at elevations above 2 km, is largely derived from a westerly, Pacific-source component and a mixture of easterly and westerly sources below 2 km. Further south at ~35S, river water compositions exhibit a strong winter influence. At 33S, rivers have an isotopic minimum of ~18% across the core of the range, which has an average elevation of 4000 m, and are topographically offset from similar isotopic values of precipitation by +1000 m. Comparison of precipitation and river water data with temperature-corrected d18O estimates from pedogenic carbonates illustrates that carbonates capture the range of variability observed in modern precipitation and Rayleigh fractionation models.
