PALEOLIMNOLOGY LISTSERV

We announce the establishment of a new listservice entitled the Paleolimnology Forum (PALEOLIM) that will be supported at the University of Florida's Northeast Regional Data Center. Paleolimnological research requires the collaboration of investigators from diverse academic disciplines. Our purpose for establishing a new listservice is to facilitate the exchange of information across disciplinary lines. The PALEOLIM listservice will encourage open discussion on all aspects of paleolimnology, including:

• radioisotopic dating methods, models, and applications
• historic changes in nutrient loading, eutrophication, and biogeochemical cycles
• stable isotope and trace metal studies in paleolimnology
• climatic reconstruction, paleohydrology, salinity, and lake-level changes
• human influence on erosion in watersheds and sedimentation rates
• lake acidification studies
• biological indicators (e.g. spores, pollen, chrysophytes, diatoms, microinvertebrates, pigments, spicules, macrophyte remains, biogenic silica) of past environmental conditions
• dating sediment cores by amino-acid racemization
• paleolimnology and historic wetland delineation
• utility of paleolimnological studies to lake and water shed management programs.
