Quantitative reconstructions from biological proxies have revolutionised palaeolimnology
but the methodology is not without problems. The most important of these result from …

An accurate and continuous monitoring of lakes and inland seas is available since 1993
thanks to the satellite altimetry missions (Topex–Poseidon, GFO, ERS-2, Jason-1, Jason-2 …

A high resolution multi–proxy (pollen, grain size, total organic carbon) record from a small
mountain lake (Lake Khuisiin; 46.6° N, 101.8° E; 2270 m asl) in the south–eastern Khangai …

Quantitative reconstructions of past environmental conditions (eg, pH) are an important part
of palaeolimnology. Such reconstructions involve three steps:(1) the development of a …

Annual-to-decadal variability in northern midlatitude temperature is dominated by the cold
season. However, climate field reconstructions are often based on tree rings that represent …

Few prehistoric developments have received as much attention as the origins of agriculture
and its associated societal implications in the Near East. A great deal of this research has …

Lake Baikal—the world's largest, oldest, and most biotically diverse lake—is responding
strongly to climate change, according to recent analyses of water temperature and ice cover …

This book investigates the early history of the Seljuq Turks, founders of one of the most
important empires of the mediaeval Islamic world, from their origins in the Eurasian steppe to …

Climatically driven Late Pleistocene and Holocene vegetation changes were reconstructed
based on pollen records from the sediments of Lake Kotokel and Cheremushka Bog, located …

We demonstrate the potential of combining satellite altimetry and radiometry for lake ice
studies using the example of Lake Baikal in Siberia. We show the synergy using active and …
