Opportunities for pollen stratigraphic analysis of shallow lake sediments: the example of Lake Balaton

  • Published:
GeoJournal Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Relying on several decades of research experience, ever more new methods and methodological approaches, the opportunities of the application of palynological analysis for shallow lake sediments are summarised. New findings — not yet appeared in international publications — are also mentioned and illustrated. Further tasks of research are outlined.
