Floodplain Lake sediments as archives for environmental history There is tremendous diversity in the structure and function of floodplain ecosystems across the many regions of the world. Floodplain lakes are natural basins located proximal to rivers and thus become archives for the distinct pulses of allochthonous biological assemblages and sediment brought in during flooding. Floodplain lakes are often the only lakes existing in non-glaciated terrain, and are therefore of significant interest for reconstructing paleorecords of environmental change in these regions. These lakes present different challenges, but have tremendous potential for preserving long term records of hydrologic and geomorphic alterations, agricultural practices, and changes in water quality and availability in their sediments. We seek presentations that explore a fundamental understanding of the role of climate change as well as agricultural and industrial activities in shaping floodplain lake dynamics. The session will highlight work aimed at paleolimnological studies using biotic and/or abiotic proxy records from floodplain lake sediments to characterize floodplain ecosystem development. In order to have a session on this emerging field we need six oral presentations. It would be great if you would decide to share your data in this session. Do not hesitate to contact us.
