ABSTRACT
In the study area of North and Central Chile exist areas of strong and weak tectonic uplift. This is true even in areas which have previously been shown to be stable by means of coastal geomorphology methods and the application of the classic theory of glacial eustatic sea-level variations. The chronostratigraphical coordination with a Quaternary time scale was carried out by using ‘absolute’ dating methods like Radiocarbon, U-series and Electron-Spin-Resonance (ESR).
