Description :
A geochemical and paleontological reconstruction of paleoproductivity, upwelling intensity and sea surface temperature (SST) off central Chile at 35°S reveals marked changes from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) through the Early Holocene. The AA. discuss their observations in the context of the Southern Westerlies and the subtropical high-pressure belt, the main forcing for paleoproductivity changes in the southern part of the Peru-Chile Current.
