Tasks:
UniBe-Bot (24) is responsible for providing samples from the
Classification and Validation lakes in the Central Swiss
Alps. Analysis carried out include water chemistry and
diatoms. Data are provided for catchment and lake characteristics
(depth, area, vegetation type, etc.), as well as surface water
temperatures for some of these lakes. Furthermore, diatoms will be
analysed from three high-resolution sediment traps and in one
sediment core from the Central Swiss Alps.
