Major Results
Intracontinental endorheic basins are key elements of source-to-sink systems as they preserve sediments eroded from surrounding catchments. We show that contrasting excavation of the Ebro and Duero basins drives a reorganization of their drainage network through a series of captures and resulted in the southwestward migration of their main drainage divide, independently from tectonics and climate.
Abstract
Topographic map of the Duero and Ebro basins and surrounding belts.
(b) Averaged topographic section throughout the Duero and Ebro basins showing important incision contrast between the two basins.
The Duero basin recorded low incision, especially in its upper part, whereas the Ebro basin is highly excavated.
