Abstract
An overview of the Quaternary palaeoenvironmental history of South America based upon recent published data and contributions to Symposium “Global and Quaternary changes in the Southern Hemisphere” of the XIII INQUA Congress (Beijing, August 2–9, 1991) is presented. Data relate basically to the Andean belt and the tropical landscapes of the eastern and central parts of the subcontinent revealing the uneven geographic distribution of palaeoenvironmental evidences. In view of the limited evidence for close-fitting chronologies only a schematic sequence of Late Cainozoic events is proposed as a contribution to more consistent correlations and teleconnections in the future.
