Description: The sediment succession of Lake Imandra in the central Kola region was investigated by a hydro-acoustic survey followed by sediment coring of site Co1410 (67°42'56.76"N, 33°5'6.42"E) down to the acoustic basement. We reconstructed the environmental history of Lake Imandra after the last deglaciation based on physical, biogeochemical, sedimentological, granulometrical, and micropalaeontological proxies. Our findings reveal the timing of the onset of lacustrine sediment deposition in the lake basin during the Late Glacial and the variability of climatic signals throughout the Holocene.

Description: The sediment succession of Lake Emanda in the Yana Highlands was investigated to reconstruct the regional late Quaternary climate and environmental history. Hydro-acoustic data obtained during a field campaign in 2017 show laminated sediments in the north-western and deepest (up to ~15 m) part of the lake, where a ~6-m-long sediment core (Co1412, latitude 65°17.6490N, longitude 135°45.5540E) was retrieved. The sediment core was studied with a multi-proxy approach including sedimentological and geochemical analyses. The chronology of Co1412 is based on 14C AMS dating on plant fragments from the upper 4.65 m and by extrapolation, suggesting a basal age of c. 57 cal. ka BP. Grain size distribution of sediment core Co1412: Clay (%), silt (%), sand (%) content of sediment Co1412 against composite depth (cm) and age (cal. a BP).
