Springer Lake Sediments Environmental Change Tracking - Volume 2

Tracking Environmental Change Using Lake Sediments: Volume 2 is a comprehensive scientific reference from Springer covering physical and geochemical methods for palaeoenvironmental research. This volume presents advanced techniques including near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) analysis of sediment samples, fly-ash particle extraction and enumeration methods, and stable isotope techniques applied to inorganic and biogenic carbonates. The work explores temporal and spatial distribution patterns, source apportionment strategies, and applications to lake-water geochemistry including Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca ratios and dissolved inorganic carbon analysis. Designed for researchers in palaeolimnology and palaeoenvironmental studies, this book combines theoretical frameworks with practical instrumentation guidance and discusses future perspectives in sediment-based environmental reconstruction.
