Past climate variability in South America and surrounding regions from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene /

This book groups together overviews and original research papers dealing with South American climate variability from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene. The contributions deal with tropical, temperate and high latitudes climate variability in South America and in surrounding regions (includin...
