Title: Archives in the Depths of High Mountain Lakes
Author(s): Michael Sturm
Annotation: Humans began settling remote mountain regions of the Swiss Alps over 4000 years ago. So what were the Alps like in earlier times? Downturns in climatic conditions forced humans to repeatedly abandon these areas, but as soon as conditions improved, they returned. We can decipher these fluctuations in human settlement from the sediment record that is stored in mountain lakes. These archives allow us to assess the effect of human impacts on the background of natural climatic changes.
