Abstract

The aim ofthe paper is toevaluate our present knowledge on the marine Quaternary ofnorth-central Chile where striking sequences ofemerged terraces are found. In order toestablish ages ofwave-cut platforms. radiometric and biogeo chemical methods. such as U/Th, ESR. and amino-acids. have been used. whichoften did not yield coherent results. Therefore. it is still difi cult toprecisely quantify values and rates of uplift which have affected Quaternary shorelines.
