Description

Radiometric 14C dating is a very useful tool to study the chronostratigraphy of pyroclastic deposits. In addition, 14C ages are essential parameters for the estimation of the recurrence time of the explosive volcanic activity. The origin, distribution and relative age of mappable Holocene tephra-fall deposits of the Southern Andes Volcanic Zone (SVZ) and Austral Andes Volcanic Zone (AVZ) from 33oS-54oS, were studied and their recurrence period is analysed (au)
