Description :
This paper presents quantitative soil weathering data and radiocarbon ages that subdivide moraines in southern Peru, which serve as a proxy for climate oscillations through the mass balance change of alpine glaciers. The objectives of this study are to develop soil chronofunctions for field and laboratory properties, and use these functions to estimate ages of undated moraines.
