Paleoclimate

Scientific interests in this area generally point to the reconstruction of paleo-environmental changes that occurred in the region of Magallanes and Antarctic Peninsula during the Late Quaternary (Late Glacial-Holocene-Recent). This includes:

- The study of marine sediments relatively shallow (<100 m) to reconstruct changes in the benthic foraminifera biostratigraphy for the period after the last glaciation and through the Holocene in the western area of ​​the mouth of the Strait Magellan.

- The reconstruction of the tefrocronología and the processes associated with volcanic events in the marine environment of the Region of Magallanes during the Holocene.
