- Abstract:
- We will develop and test a method to produce quantitative palaeoclimatic records from small temperate lakes. A chironomid temperature inference model will be extended to hard water lakes. Oxygen stable isotope determinations on biogenic and endogenic carbonates (calibrated using current lake data) will be combined with the chironomid temperatures, to produce a record of the isotopic composition of rainfall. The methodology will be validated using intersite comparison for the Late-Glacial of NW England to test the hypothesis that there are significant differences in d delta p/dT relationships between millennial climatic events associated with changes in the thermohaline circulation and more subtle centennial scale climate oscillations.
