Publisher's Synopsis
This third volume of the "Developments in Paleoenvironmental Research" series deals with the major terrestrial, algal and siliceous indicators used in palaeolimnology. Other volumes deal with the acquisition and archiving of lake sediment cores, chronological techniques and large-scale basin analysis methods.;These monographs should provide sufficient detail and breadth to be useful handbooks for both seasoned practitioners as well as newcomers to the area of palaeolimnology. Although the chapters in these volumes mainly focus on lacustrine settings, many of the techniques described can also be readily applied to fluvial, glacial, marine, estuarine and peatland environments.
