Chronology and inorganic geochemistry of four sediment sequences from the Retezat Mts, South Carpathians (Romania)

Abstract

In the frame of PROLONG (Providing long environmental records of Late Quaternary climatic oscillations in the Retezat Mountains) project lake sediment records were studied to reconstruct climate changes in the Southern Carpathians. During 2007 and 2008 summer long sediment cores were obtained from four glacial lakes (Lia, Bukura, Gales and Brazi) in the Retezat Mts (Southern Carpathians, Romania). Here we report the chronology and inorganic geochemistry from these lakes
