## Abstract Water availability is a major constraint to rural agriculture in the Bolivian Altiplano. The ability of medium and highβresolution CMIP3 models to simulate observed relationships between interannual Altiplano summer precipitation anomalies and largeβscale patterns of precipitation, 200β
During unusually wet years the salinity of the Great Salt Lake (Utah) decreased from above 100 g/L to 50 g/L. This allowed the predaceous insect Trichocorixa verticalis to invade the pelagic region of the lake and reach a mean summer density of 52/m. Concurrent changes in the pelagic ecosystem were:
The morphology and sedimentology of glacially influenced fan-deltas on massifs at the margin of the southern Altiplano, Bolivia, suggest a broadly synchronous expansion of glaciers and palaeolake Tauca during the late-glacial interval. This is shown by sedimentary successions of glacigenic, glaciflu
