The rhythmically laminated sediments found in proglacial Linnévatnet in western Spitsbergen, Svalbard may be suitable for the reconstruction of paleoenvironmental conditions such as temperature, precipitation, and glacier mass balance. In order to use these sediments as a proxy for past environmenta...
