THE LAST GLACIAL INTERGLACIAL TRANSITION IN THE SOUTH TROPICAL ANDES (BOLIVIA) BASED ON COMPARISONS OF LACUSTRINE AND GLACIAL FLUCTUATIONS
International audienceComparisons between lake level variations in the Uyuni-Coipasa basin and the glacial fluctuations in the Eastern Cordillera show that lakes and glaciers have simultaneously registered changes in precipitation. The strong lacustrine maximum (similar to 13-12 C-14 ka BP) appeared 4-6,000 years before the highest lake levels in North Africa
