Abstract Palaeolimnology has developed rapidly over the last two decades to deal with problems of eutrophication, and acidification. This paper reveiew the techniques for coring, dating and interpreting sediments. The applications of palaeolimnology in interpreting the past through ‘transfer functions’ calculated from biological indices are reviewed. Rates of change, the causes of change, and the restoration of lakes to some predefined target are reviewed and the direction of future developments considered.
