Palaeoclimatic Records of High Resolution from Lake Kotokel
The article considers the final results of investigations on Kotokel Lake which started from the regional support (grant № 08-05-98108). Quite recently the scientists from Free University of Berlin have become interested in these studies. The sedimentary records obtained from Kotokel lake demonstrate high resolution. A great number of absolute determinations helped in thorough studies of the paleoclimatic records which show the changes of the environment and climate in the Lake Baikal region. It should be noted that the changes of the climate in the region well agree with those in the Atlantic, as well as with monsoons of the Pacific Ocean. We consider that the sedimentary record from Lake Kotokel can be regarded as the model for the Central and East Asia.
