Late pleistocene paleoclimatic changes, Southeast Buenos Aires Province

Stratigraphic detail study of an outcropping profile in the area of Claromecó, Buenos Aires province was performed. This research included the analysis of continental and marine facies, which provided a detailed paleoenvironmental, and paleoclimatic information of the Quaternary geological record of...
