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:
- Detail characterization of the clay minerals composition in lake deposits by application of the standard mineralogical methods.
- Distribution of the clay minerals in lake sedimentary infill
- 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.
