The goals of this project are to document the evolution of plant biodiversity in the Amazon forests and to relate biotic diversification to changes in the physical environment, including climate, tectonism, and the surface landscape. These goals require long sedimentary records from each of the major sedimentary basins across the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, which can only be obtained by drilling because of the scarcity of Cenozoic outcrops. The proposed drilling will provide the first long, nearly continuous regional records of the Cenozoic history of the forests, their plant diversity, and the associated changes in climate and environment. It also will address fundamental questions about landscape evolution, including the history of Andean uplift and erosion as recorded in Andean foreland basins and the development of west-to-east hydrologic continuity between the Andes, the Amazon lowlands, and the equatorial Atlantic. Because many modern rivers of the Amazon basin flow along the major axes of the old sedimentary basins, we plan to locate drill sites on the margin of large rivers and to access the targeted drill sites by navigation along these rivers. © Author(s) 2015. 2015 English 18168957 10.5194/sd-20-41-2015 Scientific Drilling 20 Copernicus GmbH 41-49 Earth and Ocean Sciences, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708, United States; Yachay Tech University, San Miguel de Urcuquí, Imbabura, Ecuador; Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Nebraska - Lincoln, Lincoln, NE 68588-0340, United States; Departamento de Geologia, Universidade Federal Fluminense, Niterói, Brazil; Department of Geological Sciences, East Carolina University, Greenville, NC, United States; Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, Manaus, Brazil; School of Arts, Sciences and Humanities, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil; Geoarte Consultoria Geológica e Artística Ltda, Belém, Brazil; Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, United States; Department of Earth Sciences, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, United States; OGX Oil and Gas, Brazil; Department of Geosciences, Pennsylvania State University, State CollegePA, United States; Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosytem Dynamics, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands; Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Panama City, Panama; Department of Geography, University of Texas, Austin, TX, United States; Institut de Recherche pour le Développement, Université de Montpellier, Montpellier, France; Dipartimento di Geoscienze, Universitá Degli Studi di Padova, Padua, Italy; Limnological Research Center, University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, Minneapolis, MN, United States; Institute of Earth Sciences, Universität Graz, Graz, Austria; Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, Pára, Brazil; Faculdade de Oceanografia, Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Departamento de Geociências, Universidade Federal do Amazonas, Manaus, Brazil; US Geological Survey, Reston, VA, United States Biodiversity; Drills; Plants (botany); Rivers; Sedimentology; Settling tanks, Brazilian Amazon; Cenozoic history; Drilling projects; Landscape evolutions; Physical environments; Plant diversity; Sedimentary basin; Sedimentary records, Forestry https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84951921499&doi=10.5194%2fsd-20-41-2015&partnerID=40&md5=365d1b9954c02b9dcd4791c05bacf6c1 cited By 9 P.A.
