Loss on ignition as a method for estimating organic and carbonate content in sediments: reproducibility and comparability of results.

TL;DR: In this paper, five test runs were performed to assess possible bias when performing the loss on ignition (LOI) method to estimate organic matter and carbonate content of lake sediments.

δ18o and Trace Element Measurements as Proxy for the Reconstruction of Climate Changes at Lake Van (Turkey): Preliminary Results

TL;DR: The sediments of Lake Van, the fourth largest terminal lake on earth, located at the eastern end of the Taurus Mountain Range show an undisturbed continuous record of chemically precipitated carbonate varves, which provide:
Journal ArticleDOI

Dating late glacial abrupt climate changes in the 14,570 yr long continuous varve record of Lake Van, Turkey

TL;DR: In this article, the termination of the Younger Dryas is dated to 10,920±132 yr B.P. This is younger than the recently published Greenland ice core dates but in accordance with, for example, the central European dendrochronology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Methods for preparing and counting biochemical varves

TL;DR: In this article, four different preparation and counting methods for biochemical varves were compared in order to assess counting errors and to standardize these techniques and the properties of two embedding methods, namely the shock-freeze, freeze-dry and the water-acetone-epoxy-exchange method, are discussed.
