Symposium web site: http://www.geofisica.unam.mx/paleolimnologia Special session 01. Age-depth modeling Reliable chronologies are vital for most paleolimnological studies. However, uncertainties arise from many sources, including i) errors in lead, radiocarbon, and other dates, ii) lack of material or funds causing limited amounts of dates, and iii) age-model assumptions (e.g., linear interpolation between dated levels, spline regression, hiatuses). Here we will discuss recent advances in age-depth modeling of lakes, e.g., high-resolution dating studies, Bayesian techniques, glacial calibrations, and multiple core comparisons.
