This book presents the study of limnogeomorphology, in which past
proxy data such as lacustrine sediments with information on
landform development can be linked to modern observed data acquired
by instruments, including hydro-geomorphological and sedimentary
data. Traditionally, in the field of earth sciences, it has been
thought that geophysical studies dealing mainly with the present
process were not smoothly linked to geological studies that
originated from historical studies. Although such earth-surface
process studies are closely related to those on historical landform
development in the field of geomorphology, they have been studied
separately. Those two geomorphology studies correspond to process
geomorphology (dynamic geomorphology) and historical geomorphology.
There have been some attempts to combine them; however, they lacked
past quantitative records available for further analyses. In the
study of limnogeomorphology, proxy data can be converted to
quantitative information to be utilized in future environmental
discussions. This book also covers information not only on large
lake-catchment systems, but on small systems. Those include
long-term and short-term and large-scale and small-scale
environmental changes in east Eurasia such as Lake Baikal, Lake
Khuvsgul, Lake Biwa, and small lakes in Japan, Mongolia, China, and
Korea.
