A multi-proxy study of Holocene environmental change recorded in alluvial deposits along the southern coast of the Pampa region, Argentina
Analyses of fossil records of molluscs, stable isotopes of carbon and oxygen, diatoms and palynomorphs from alluvial deposits at Arroyo Claromecó, in the southern Pampa region of Argentina, provide an integrated reconstruction of rapid Holocene environmental change related to marine and palaeoclimat...
