Sediment Proxies
We love to use lake sediments to understand more about the contemporary and historical environment of a lake. It is AMAZING the amount of information you can acquire from what most people would broadly classify as dirt :). Occasionally we refine our understanding of proxies that are commonly used and or find novel uses for existing proxies.
