Proglacial lake sediments – a basis for uninterrupted chronicles of the Holocene glacier variations by M. Y. Alexandrin

“…The glacial signal in the lake sediments was originally distinguished by measuring the organic content of the sediment (normally with loss-on-ignition) and the magnetic properties of the sediment. Subsequent methods of analysis could yield more precision and normally include geochemical composition (with the use of high-resolution scanning x-ray fluorescence analysis), use of biogenic indicators (such as pollen and diatoms contained in the sediment) and more. …”
