Palaeoclimatic secrets of lakes 1300-WTPJ-OG
Weather and climate – introduction to climatic changes. Causes of climate change and factors controlling the climate in the past. Geological environments as a record of climate change. Characteristics of lake ecosystems – types of lakes, sedimentation zones, bog and lake deposits. Analysis of lake deposits as a record of climate change (faunal, floral, geochemical and mineralogical analyses, palaeomagnetism, geophisics and isotopes). Lakes and humans – lakes evolution and human civilisation development and the rate of lake disappearance.
