Abstract: In this work we analyze F-theory and Type IIB orientifold compactifications to study $alph{a}^{\prime }$-corrections to the four-dimensional, $mathcalN=1$ effective actions. In particular, we obtain corrections to the K"ahlermoduli space metric and its complex structure for generic dimension originating from eight-derivative corrections to eleven-dimensional supergravity. We propose a completion of the $G^2{R}^3$ and $(ablaG{)}^2{R}^2$-sector in eleven-dimensions relevant in Calabi--Yau fourfold reductions. We suggest that the three-dimensional, $mathcalN=2$ K"ahler coordinates may be expressed as topological integrals depending on the first, second, and third Chern-forms of the divisors of the internal Calabi--Yau fourfold. The divisor integral Ansatz for the K"ahler potential and K"ahler coordinates may be lifted to four-dimensional, $mathcalN=1$ F-theory vacua. We identify a novel correction to the K"ahler potential and coordinates at order $alpha{\text{'}}^2$, which is leading compared to other known corrections in the literature. At weak string coupling the correction arises from the intersection of $D7$-branes and $O7$-planes with base divisors and the volume of self-intersection curves of divisors in the base. In the presence of the conjectured novel $alph{a}^{\prime }$-correction resulting from the divisor interpretation the no-scale structure may be broken. Furthermore, we propose a model independent scenario to achieve non-supersymmetric AdS vacua for Calabi-Yau orientifold backgrounds with negative Euler-characteristic.
