Climate conditions dynamics of the Mologa-Sheksna Lowland different parts from the Late-Glacial up to the late Holocene is discussed in the article. Results are summarized from the comprehensive study of the bottom sediment sequences from three mire lakes of Vologda region. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and diffraction (XRD), organic elements (C, N, S) content evaluation, granulometric analysis, stable isotope 13C bulk content, 13C-NMR spectroscopy and accelerated mass-spectrometry (14C AMS) were conducted during 2018-...

As part of global monitoring of contaminants delivery to ecosystems via atmospheric transport it is valuable to investigate the accumulation of pollutants in lacustrine sediments, in particular in those remote from cities and industries as potential sources of pollution. Not only conclusions about human impact have been inferred from the proxies, but they also have been used to distinguish it from climatic-driven shifts. Three relict lakes Khotavets, Pogoskoye and Beloye in North-Western Russia have been cored and...
