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.
