Alexandra Vasilyeva presents paper at the Paleolimnology of Northern Eurasia Conference in Krasnoyarsk

Alexandra Vasilyeva and Larisa Savelieva recently presented a paper at the 6th International 'Paleolimnology of Northern Eurasia' Conference in Krasnoyarsk, 24-29 August. The BAP-related research study, conducted by BAP students Alexandra Vasilyeva (as part of her Master's program at University of St. Petersburg) and Aleksandra Krikunova (PhD program at Freie Universitaet, Berlin) under the supervision of Dr. Larisa Savelieva and Professor Pavel Tarasov, examines the features of pollen-based vegetation modeling using Holocene pollen records from lakes in the Ladoga-Onega [...]

Postglacial vegetation and climate change in the Lake Onega region of eastern Fennoscandia derived from a radiocarbon-dated pollen record

With its numerous environmental archives stored in lake and peat sediments and relatively low human pressure, the Lake Onega region in eastern Fennoscandia is regarded as a particularly promising area for studying past changes in vegetation and climate since the Lateglacial period. The 885-cm-long sediment core RZ19 (62◦27′53″N, 34◦26′4″E) was collected from Razlomnoe Peat on the northern shore of Lake Onega in 2019, radiocarbon-dated and analysed for pollen and cryptogam spores. The age-depth model suggests continuous sedimentation since [...]
