Description :
Reconstructions of lake-water salinity at decadal resolution for the last 2000 yr are compared among 3 lakes in North Dakota to infer regional patterns of drought. The results are based on diatom-inferred salinity and Mg/Ca ratios in ostracode calcite for the 3 sites. The intersite comparisons are used to distinguish local variation in climate or hydrology from regional patterns of change.
