Abstract
Few paleolimnologists would argue against the fact that our science has made substantial advances over the last decade. A simple perusal of the development in procedures and applications, conveniently documented at about four to five year intervals in previous symposium volumes (Frey, 1969; Klekowski, 1978; Meriläinen et al., 1983; Löffler, 1986), should convince any sceptic. The papers presented at this symposium further demonstrate that paleolimnology continues to gain momentum.
Opening keynote lecture to the ‘Aquatic Ecology and Palaeolimnological Interpretation’ session at the Vth International Symposium on Palaeolimnology, held at Ambleside, U.K., Sept. 1, 1989.
