Holocene palaeoclimates of southern Patagonia: Limnological and environmental history of Lago Cardiel, Argentina
Multiproxy palaeoenvironmental and palaeolimnological analyses of two Holocene-age sediment cores from the margin of Lago Cardiel, a 76 m deep, closed-basin lake in southern Patagonia (latitude 49°S), provide information on lake-level changes that can be related to regional palaeoclimate scenarios....

Multiproxy palaeoenvironmental and palaeolimnological analyses of two Holocene-age sediment cores from the margin of Lago Cardiel, a 76 m deep, closed-basin lake in southern Patagonia (latitude 49°S), provide information on lake-level changes that can be related to regional palaeoclimate scenarios.
