A methodology to interpret downvalley lake sediments as records of Neoglacial activity: Coast Mountains, British Columbia, Canada

Description :
Downvalley lake sediments from four lakes within Kwoiek Creek watershed, Coast Mountains, are examined with the aim of reconstructing Holocene glacial activity. A methodology is outlined which, through sediment source-sink analysis, separates the glacial-derived sediment of interest from material from other sources. Organic matter content is shown to be a good inverse indicator of sedimentation rates at two different time-scales.
