Conclusions Varves are sediments registering annual events. Carbonate varves register annual precipitation of calcium carbonate. Glacio-lacustrine varves record an annual freeze-over. The Swiss lakes provide field sites where annual changes of biologic productivity can be monitored, and where secular climatic variations can be recognized. Our investigations of lake sediments have helped not only to understand the modern lacustrine deposition, but also to develop an insight into the interrelations between climate, productivity, and sedimentation.
