This book presents extensive and new information on the
geomorphology of cratonic areas of southern South America. It
includes valuable data relating to recurrent controversies in
general geomorphology beyond the boundaries of South America and
reveals the great need to integrate many different aspects of
geomorphology in regional studies. With the focus on ancient
landscapes and especially on planation surfaces it addresses the
question of what processes could form such huge features, and how
they can be preserved for so long. Many of the papers include maps
of planation surfaces or other geomorphic units. The volume brings
together an up-to-date, state-of-the-art collection of information
on South American geomorphology, and shows beyond doubt that
geomorphology is on the same time scale as global tectonics,
biological evolution and major climate change. Some of the papers
describe ancient geomorphological features of areas that have never
been studied or published before, while others describe regions
which are totally unknown to the public. The scope of the book
extends from tropical latitudes north of the Tropic of Capricorn,
south to freezing Patagonia in the "roaring fifties", more than
3,500 km from north to south. Including over one thousand citations
from geological and geomorphological literature, this volume will
serve as a starting point for a whole new phase of studies of the
fascinating landscape history of southern South America.
