Topic:

Sensitivity determination of clay minerals from lake sediments in the High Tatras to changes of glacial and postglacial climate

Study of clay minerals is a part of the multiproxy study on paleoclimatic changes at the Pleistocene /Holocene boundary in the High Tatras. The main objectives are:

  1. Detail characterization of the clay minerals composition in lake deposits by application of the standard mineralogical methods.
  2. Distribution of the clay minerals in lake sedimentary infill
  3. Interpretation of the clay composition and distribution with other palaeontological, mineralogical and geochemical methods identified by other working groups for identification of climatic and ecological changes in the mountains area.
