Dear Janice

You may find the attached files useful.

This very good for teaching purposes:

Pollution of Lakes and Rivers: A Paleoenvironmental Perspective, 2nd Edition

John P. Smol ISBN: 978-1-4051-5913-5

Simon

Thank you!

This is also a nice example I use to teach a UG module here - Monitoring Environmental Change.

Water Pollution History of Switzerland Recorded by Sediments of the Large and Deep Perialpine Lakes Lucerne and Geneva

Florian Thevenon & John Poté

Water Air Soil Pollut

DOI 10.1007/s11270-012-1347-6.

It would be interesting to hear what else you collect.

Hi Simon,

I decided to go with themes:

Salmon fertilization of coastal systems

Impacts of Climatic Change and Fishing on Pacific Salmon Abundance Over the Past 300 Years

Bruce P. Finney1,*, Irene Gregory-Eaves2, Jon Sweetman1, Marianne S. V. Douglas3, John P. Smol2

Science 27 October 2000:

Vol. 290 no. 5492 pp. 795-799

DOI: 10.1126/science.290.5492.795

Fisheries productivity in the northeastern Pacific Ocean over the past 2,200 years

Bruce P. Finney1,2, Irene Gregory-Eaves2,3, Marianne S. V. Douglas4 & John P. Smol3

Nature 416, 729-733 (18 April 2002) | doi:10.1038/416729a;

N deposition to mountain lakes

Anthropogenic nitrogen deposition induces rapid ecological changes in

alpine lakes of the Colorado Front Range (USA)

Alexander P. Wolfe , Jill S. Baron & R. Jack Cornett

Journal of Paleolimnology 25: 1–7, 2001

Compound-specific stable isotopes of organic compounds from lake sediments track recent environmental changes in an alpine ecosystem, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

Enders et al

Limnol. Oceanogr., 53(4), 2008, 1468–1478

Metal and Effluence Pollution

As you suggested, and

Diatom taxonomic and morphological changes as indicators of metal

pollution and recovery in Lac Dufault (Quebec, Canada)

Antonella Cattaneo1,*, Yves Couillard2

, Sybille Wunsam3 and Michel Courcelles1

Journal of Paleolimnology 32: 163–175, 2004

If I have time I will look at studies that evaluate oxygen levels/turnover.

thanks for the suggestion!

Hello - if you can handle French language, then look for the papers / books of Alphonse Forel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/François-Alphonse_Forel, http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/François-Alphonse_Forel). regards, Martin

Many of Steve Colman's papers, and those of his coauthors, on paleolimnology of large lakes of the world might be good: http://www.d.umn.edu/llo/people/scolman.html

thank you

You may find some good references in these two reviews:

Catalan, J., Pla-Rabés, S., Wolfe, A.P., Smol, J.P., Rühland, K.M., Anderson, J., Kopáček, J., Stuchlík, E., Schmidt, R., Koinig, K.A., Camarero, L., Flower, R.J., Heiri, O., Kamenik, C., Korhola, A., Leavitt, P.R., Psenner, R., Renberg, I. 2013. Global change revealed by palaeolimnological records from remote lakes: a review. Journal of Paleolimnology, 49:513–535. doi: 10.1007/s10933-013-9681-2.

Leavitt, P. R., S. C. Fritz, N. J. Anderson, P. A. Baker, T. Blenckner, L. Bunting, J. Catalan, D. J. Conley, W. O. Hobbs, E. Jeppesen, A. Korhola, S. McGowan, K. Rühland, J. A. Rusak, G. L. Simpson, N. Solovieva, and J. Werne. 2009. Paleolimnological evidence of the effects on lakes of energy and mass transfer from climate and humans. Limnology and Oceanography, 54(6, part 2): 2330–2348

This is good example, however a little bit sophisticated.

Thank you
