Abstract The Pyrenean Lake Montcortès sediments hold the longest continuous and
absolutely varve-dated record of the Mediterranean region, encompassing the last three …

This text, written by a leading researcher in the field, describes the origin and formation of
lakes in order to give context to the question of how lacustrine deposits form. It explains the …

Fossil pigments often preserve in lake sediments long after the morphological remains of
most algae and bacteria are lost. In principle, analyses of sedimentary carotenoids …

We revise the conceptual model of calcite varves and present, for the first time, a dual lake
monitoring study in two alkaline lakes providing new insights into the seasonal …

Among insects, the chitinous larval remains of the order Diptera (true flies) are most
abundant in lake sediments, and thus have proven to be especially useful in palaeoenviron …

Enhanced phosphorus (P) export from land into streams and lakes is a primary factor driving
the expansion of deep-water hypoxia in lakes during the Anthropocene. However, the …

The ecosystem response of Lake Redó (Central Pyrenees) to fluctuations in seasonal air
temperature during the last two centuries was investigated by comparison of reconstructed …

A combined bulk and detailed geochemical study of the sedimentary organic matter in Lake
Albano, central Italy, provides critical data to track the response of this aquatic system to the …

The availability of long-term series of chemical and biological data and the eutrophication/
oligotrophication history of Lake Maggiore allows an attempt to correlate the registered …

A study of lipid biomarkers in predominantly laminated, organic carbon-rich sediments in
Lake Albano (central Italy) has been used to reconstruct changes in the aquatic system …
