The Laka lake
  • The Laka lake
  • Bathymetry ; Czech Republic ; Lake ; Morphometry ; Mountain ; Silting ; Watershed
  • General information about the Šumava Mountain lakes, about the smallest one - the Laka Lake. The main aim was establish the previse altitude of the lake Laka and to draw its ground plan and bathymetric map. Geographic position and morphometric
  • characteristics of catchment area are described as well. Differently from the other Šumava lakes, the Laka Lake is interesting by its relatively intensive silting processes. - (MS)

Highest pluvial-lake shorelines and Pleistocene climate of the Western Great Basin
  • Highest pluvial-lake shorelines and Pleistocene climate of the Western Great Basin
  • Climatic variation ; Drainage network ; Lake ; Lake level ; Nevada ; Palaeo-environment ; Pleistocene ; Tectonics ; United States of America
  • Shoreline altitudes of several pluvial lakes in the western Great Basin of North America record successively smaller lakes from the early to the late Pleistocene. This decrease in lake size indicates a long-term drying trend in the regional climate
  • that is not seen in global marine oxygen-isotope records. The previously unknown lake levels also reflect significant changes in tectonics, and (or) drainage-basin configurations, and could have facilitated migration of aquatic species in the Great Basin.

Improved prediction of life expectancy for a himalayan lake : Nainital, UP, India
  • Improved prediction of life expectancy for a himalayan lake : Nainital, UP, India
  • Bathymetry ; Himalaya ; India ; Isotope dating ; Lacustrine sediment ; Lake ; Methodology ; UttarPradesh
  • Authors critique bathymetric data for Lake Nainital, a natural lake in the Kumaun Himalaya, and explain new ways to measure the sediment accumulation. They date lake sediment cores using 210Pb and 137Cs dating techniques. Based on the results
  • , they estimate a useful life for the lake of 2,200 years, which is much longer than the estimate based on short-term bathymetric data. - (SLD)

  • Controls on the formation and sudden drainage of glacier-impounded lakes : implications for jökulhlaup characteristics
  • Drainage ; Flood ; Forecast ; Glacial features ; Glacial lake ; Glacier fluctuation ; Ice breakup ; Model ; Pic discharge ; Seismicity ; Volcanism
  • This review summarizes and clarifies the current state of knowledge of glacier-impounded or ice-dammed lake behaviour, and presents a simple model of the key aspects and implications of ice-dammed lake drainage. The core of the article examines
  • the relationship between controls on ice-dammed lake drainage and glacier outburst flood or jökulhlaup character.

Groundwater-mediated response to Holocene climatic change recorded by the diatom stratigraphy of an Ethiopian crater lake
  • Groundwater-mediated response to Holocene climatic change recorded by the diatom stratigraphy of an Ethiopian crater lake
  • The diatom stratigraphy of a 23-m sediment core from Lake Tilo, a maar lake in the Ethiopan Rift Valley, provides a 10,000-yr record of lake salinity and trophic status. The results show that the lake remained relatively fresh throughout the early
  • Holocene arid intervals, due to high rates of geothermal groundwater discharge. Palaeoclimatic interpretation of palaeosalinity proxies from the sediments of volcanic crater lakes should be approached with caution.
