Otter Lake (Alaska) Sediment Data for Lake-Level Reconstructions (NSF Award #0909362)

For this collaborative research project, Lehigh University was responsible to derive a lake record from south-central Alaska to reconstruct environmental change and to understand nonlinearities of climate change during the Holocene. The multi-proxy record from Otter Lake was used to reconstruct lake-level change. The data include loss on ignition (LOI), geochemical analyses (XRF) and other sedimentary proxies from 16,000 to 4000 calibrated years before present (cal year BP).
