  • Topographic Response to Neogene Variations in Slab Geometry, Climate And
    Topographic response to Neogene variations in slab geometry, climate and drainage reorganization in the Northern Andes of Colombia Nicolás Pérez-Consuegra1*, Richard F. Ott2, Gregory D.

Email: [email protected] This is a non-peer reviewed preprint and has been submitted to Global Planetary Change (Special Issue). Keywords: River capture, surface uplift, knickpoint migration, tropics, biodiversity 1 Abstract The tropical Northern Andes of Colombia are one the world's most biodiverse places, offering an ideal location for unraveling the linkages between the geodynamic forces that build topography and the evolution of the biota that inhabit it. In this study, we utilize geomorphic analysis to characterize the topography of the Western and Central Cordilleras of the Northern Andes. We supplement our topographic analysis with erosion rate estimates based on gauged suspended sediment loads and river incision rates from volcanic sequences. In the northern Central Cordillera, an elevated low-relief surface (2,500m in elevation, ~40x110 km in size) with quasi-uniform lithology and surrounded by knickpoints, indicates a recent increase in rock and surface uplift rate. Whereas the southern segment of the Central Cordillera shows substantially higher local relief and mostly well graded river profiles consistent with longer term uplift-rate stability. We also identify several areas of major drainage reorganization, including captures and divide migrations that are supported by our erosion and incision rate estimates.

Some small terranes that have been de- Jurassic fined recently, including Anacona, Ebéjico (Quebradagrande), and Pozo (Arquía), are placed within the context of the larger terranes. In addition, some new terranes, in- cluding Yalcón, Bocaná, Aburrá, Kogi, and Tairona, are defined and their characteristics are described. With these new geochronological data, we propose that the metamor- phic Cajamarca Complex be replaced by two new lithodemical units: the Antioquia Triassic Complex, which covers mostly rocks that formed during Permian and Triassic meta- morphism, and the Coello Complex, which comprises metamorphic rocks that formed during Jurassic metamorphism. Future lines of investigation are proposed to solve remaining problems, especially the boundaries of some of the newly defined terranes.
