Holocene peat and lake sediment tephra record from the southernmost Chilean Andes (53-55°S)

Peat and lake sediment cores from Peninsula Muñoz Gamero in the southernmost Main Andean Cordillera, and also Seno Skyring fjord and Peninsula Brunswick in the Andean foothills, have been investigated to refine the local Holocene tephrochronology. New 14C ages, together with calculated peat growth a...
