Paleolimnology


Laguna Pallcacocha, Ecuador.  Photo by Chris Moy. Paleolimnology is the study of past conditions of inland fresh water bodies. A variety of measurements from lake and bog sediments are used to indicate past water temperature, physical properties, biology, and chemistry. WDC for Paleoclimatology archives Lake Level History, Pollen, and Plant Macrofossil data separately from the Paleolimnological data described on this page.
