Palaeoenvironment Reconstruction in the Southwest Yukon. Potential for Fine Resolution Studies over the Last 1000 Years.
Sediments from different lake environments in the Kluane Region are being analysed for a multi-parameter approach to palaeoenvironment reconstruction. 4-5 m cores dating from deglaciation of the region provide the opportunity for high resolution studies and offer the possibility of studies of climat...

| Summary: | Sediments from different lake environments in the Kluane Region are being analysed for a multi-parameter approach to palaeoenvironment reconstruction. 4-5 m cores dating from deglaciation of the region provide the opportunity for high resolution studies and offer the possibility of studies of climate variability by comparison with lacustrine records in the Whitehorse area. Initial results from pollen analysis demonstrate conformation with other studies in the region. Geochemical and stratigraphic analysis together with initial analysis of molluscs indicate variability of lacustrine conditions throughout the Holocene. |
