Holocene Climate Reconstructions from a Saline Lake Trace Element and Stable Isotope Composition of Ostracodes and Endogenic Carbonates from Coldwater Lake, N. Dakota, USA. In American Quaternary Association (AMQUA) Program and Abstracts of the Thirteenth Biennial Meeting. p. 189. June 19- 22, 1994, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.
Site discussed: Coldwater Lake. Recovered core is ca. 18 m long. Geochechemistry and ostracode assemblages reflect lake chemistry. Rapid change from fresh to saline conditions in early Holocene. Wetter/cooler conditions in mid-Holocene, drier and warmer in late Holocene. Record shows considerable variability throughout. (17/12/2007).
