Description :
The AA. present a paleolimnological record from the central part of Lake Chalco (diatoms, magnetic susceptibility, organic content, C 14 ages of sediments). This record, spanning at least 40,000 yr, offers a more detailed interpretation of the last-glacial and post-glacial environmental history of this lake. The AA. also use recent volcanological findings to explore how volcanic activity may have affected the lake's history.
