The main purpose of this meeting was to promote the interaction of the leading scientists in various disciplines of the Geological and Paleontological Sciences of the Late Cenozoic of South America in order to update the existing knowledge on the core issues cited in the title of the symposium. In addition, the idea was to provide an adequatescopeforanopenandexhaustivedebate,inwhichthefutureresearchand academicinteractionwereamongthemainissues.Itshouldbenotedthatthiswasthe firsttimeeverthatthesetopicsrelatedtoMIS3werepubliclydiscussedinArgentina. The organizing committee provided the possibility of publishing the presented papersinaspecialvolumeinwhichdifferentapproachestothestudyofMIS3were thus updated, e.g., geology, geomorphology, vertebrate and invertebrate paleon- tology, palynology, paleomagnetism, paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic stud- ies, etc. The Quaternary geological history is characterized by cyclical climatic changes of different frequency and intensity comprising the alternation of colder periods (glacial intervals) and more temperate-warmer spans (interglacial intervals). These cyclical changes generated periodic reorganizations of the landscape and the environmental system. Particularly,MIS 3is avery interestingperiodfor different reasons.MIS 3 was an interstadial stage, a relatively warmer climatic period which developed roughly between 60 and 25 cal. ka B.P. Several very cold periods, known as the Heinrich (H) events, developed during MIS 3. As well, several paleoclimatic moments with relatively warmer conditions, known as the Dansgaard–Oeschger (D–O) events, took place in between the Heinrich (H) events. These H and D–O cycles would havebeenveryshortingeneralterms,high intensity, andfrequentextremeevents.
