Lake Baikal in eastern Siberia is a crucial site for detecting
long-term global changes, owing to its high sensitivity to climatic
oscillation and its extraordinarily long history. Because
lacustrine sediments have an advantage in providing high-resolution
information, the sediments in Lake Baikal contain excellent
continuous records of past conditions including paleoclimates,
evolution, and specification of organisms. Based on the study by
the Baikal Drilling Project, this book provides information on
global climatic and environmental changes for as much as 12 million
years. The book also includes discussions of comparatively
short-term changes such as glacial and interglacial transitions
that directly link to the present and future environment. Long
Continental Records from Lake Baikal summarizes the latest
knowledge on the paleoenvironment and provides a foundation for
further studies in global environmental changes.
