Interests: structural and climatic geomorphology, physical and human geography of deserts. Mr. Oberlander is currently investigating the relationship between human artifacts and extremely ancient shorelines in the Atacama Desert of Chile. This relationship suggests a human presence in the New World at a date far earlier than the generally accepted 11,000 to 20,000 years.
