Lacustrine deposits are valuable archives for paleoenvironmental analysis across space and time. Despite wide-ranging differences in depth, location, formation processes, salinity, trophic and mixing structure, lakes provide valuable records of chemical, ecological, and climatic variability, as well as holding valuable evidence of natural hazards over the span of the Phanerozoic. The depth and breadth of lacustrine studies is continuously expanding as new proxies and analytical techniques and proxy system models are added to the burgeoning limnogeological toolkit. The purpose of this session is to provide an open forum for limnologists, paleolimnologists, and limnogeologists interested in the wide spectrum of lake archives, including records from the modern and Holocene to large-scale changes in lacustrine environments across hundreds of millions of years. Studies exploring all aspects of climate and environment reconstructions, proxy development, proxy system modeling are welcome and undergraduate participation is especially encouraged.
