European Climate Change at the End of the Last Glaciation (EUCLIM)
EUCLIM will produce new, high-quality climate records based on fossil chironomid and pollen assemblages in lake sediments. Analyses will focus on the late-glacial period, when the European continent experienced major climatic oscillations and periods of abrupt warming. The new climate records will allow a better understanding of the response of European climate and of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems during phases of rapid warming and will be used to evaluate available reconstructions of late-glacial climate based on climate models.

Fieldwork at Laguna de la Roya, Spain, to obtain a lateglacial sediment sequence
