Abstract
The Betic Cordillera in Southeast Spain forms the Western end of the Alpine mountain belt. It consists of a succession of E-W to NNE-SSW oriented mountain ranges surrounded by Neogene-Quaternary sedimentary basins. The average uplift rates are low to moderate (20 – 300 mm.ka-1), but show remarkable spatial and temporal variation across the Betic Cordillera. This work aims to evaluate the Quaternary topographic evolution of the Southern Betic Cordillera by drawing on 10Be basin-average denudation rates and morphometric analyses of hillslope and river channels.
