This research project will complete current U.S. Argentine                 research in Patagonia and expand to include related research in                 Tierra del Fuego.  Mapping of the oldest  surficial drift deposits              will be completed in Patagonia.  The new research in Tierra del                 Fuego includes mapping, dating and correlating pre-to-late glacial              and raised shorelines between Rio Gallegos and Rio San Pablo using              K-Ar and Amino Acid Racemization dating methods.  The area                      contains a large region of "questionable glaciation" to be studied              because of its importance as a potential refuge during glacial                  times.  The investigation of raised shorelines will provide                     important information on the isostatic and neotectonic history of               Tierra del Fuego.  The investigators are rapidly developing an                  absolute, age controlled glacial history for this area which                    strongly supports the work of Mercer and his co-workers (1976,                  1983).  The Southern Andes represent the ideal locality to                      reconstruct the timing and magnitude of past glacial and climatic               fluctuations.
