PREFACE The explosive growth of paleolimnology over the past two decades
has provided impetus for the publication of this series of monographs
detailing the numerous advances and new techniques being applied to the
interpretation of lake histories. This is the second volume in the
series and deals mainly with physical and geochemical analytical
techniques.
