Isotopic paleolimnology of Lake Kinneret
The carbonate, organic C, and N contents and their respective d13C were measured in four cores from Lake Kinneret, Israel. Using these data and the isotopic difference between coexisting carbonate and organic C, Dd13C, we attempted to reconstruct the lake’s productivity and regional climatic conditions during the late Holocene. The sedimentary record of the last 120 yr (for which climatological...
متن کاملEditorial: Using Paleolimnology for Lake Restoration and Management
Paleolimnology has been used for decades to reconstruct past environments and more recently, to quantify the observed changes. Various organisms preserve in sediment of lakes and wetlands and can be used to reconstruct how a water body and the surrounding landscape looked like and has changed through time. For example, pollen, charcoal, and macrofossils can be used to reconstruct vegetation and...
متن کاملClimate, Tectonics or...?: Speculations on the Recent Paleolimnology of Yellowstone Lake
The sediments of Yellowstone Lake may reveal the paleoecological history of this lake over the last few centuries. These sediments contain up to 60% biogenic silica derived from diatom frustules settling out from the overlying water. The sediment record reveals large variations in the diatom deposition over the last ~350 years. Some of these variations appear to correlate extremely well with in...
متن کاملUsing paleolimnology to find restoration solutions: the case of Lake Muzzano, Switzerland
Lake Muzzano (455950N 85541E, 337m a.s.l.) is a hyper-eutrophied lake located in the Tessin region of Switzerland. Almost every year, algal blooms (Microcystis) cover the lake with a thickness of 1–2 cm. These blooms associated with periods of anoxia in summer have led to fish kills in 1967 and 1994. In the hope of avoiding these blooms, a bypass bringing water away from the lake has been estab...
متن کاملSedimentological evidence of the level and climate changes of Lake Zeribar in the Holocene
Lakes are very interesting sedimentary environments for the study of ancient climate, changes in sedimentary environments and lake level changes. Lake Zeribar is situated in the Zagros Mountains, Kurdistan, Iran. The main purpose of this research is to examine grain size sediments, geochronology and clay mineralogy accumulated in Zeribar Lake in order to check the water level fluctuations, clim...
