Description:

We evaluate the efficacy of the stable isotope composition of precipitation and plant waxes as proxies for paleoaltimetry and paleohydrology in the northern tropical Andes. We report monthly hydrogen (δ 2Hp) and oxygen (δ 18Op) isotope values of precipitation for an annual cycle, and hydrogen isotope values of plant waxes (δ 2Hwax) obtained from modern soils along the eastern and western flanks of the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia. δ 2Hp, δ 18Op, as well as the unweighted mean δ 2Hwax values of n-C29, n-C31, and n-C33 n-alkanes in the eastern flank show a dependence on elevation ( R 2 = 0.90, 0.82, and 0.65, respectively). In stark contrast, the stable isotope compositions of neither precipitation nor plant waxes from the western flank correlate with
