本卷是本系列前三本书的延续（Last & Smol，2001 a，B; Smol等，2001年），集体试图总结古湖泊学家用来跟踪长期环境变化的主要方法和技术。从广义上讲，古湖沼学是研究湖泊沉积物中储存的物理、化学和生物信息的学科。在大多数情况下，湖泊沉积物被认为是原始档案，然而其他沉积物（例如，来自河流、沼泽、湿地、沼泽、河口等的沉积物）也包含过去环境变化的重要代用数据，本书中讨论的许多方法同样适用于这些环境。沉积物中储存的信息量是惊人的，既有外来的，也有本地的替代数据来源（图1），因此系列编辑很快就清楚地认识到，需要几本书来总结一些常用的方法。这些书建立在以前的古环境技术汇编的基础上，如Gray（1988），Warner（1990），特别是Berglund（1986）。后者已成为标准参考约15年。此外，Frey（1964）的评论仍然是一个经典的出版物，其中包含了大量的历史参考资料，在古湖泊学中使用无脊椎动物指标。
This volume is a continuation of the previous three books in this series (Last & Smol, 2001a,b; Smol et al., 2001), which collectively attempt to summarize the major approaches and techniques used by paleolimnologists to track long-term environmental change. Broadly defined, paleolimnology is die study of die physical, chemical, and biological information stored in lake deposits. In most cases, lake sediments are considered die primary archives, however other deposits (e.g., sediments from rivers, bogs, wetlands, marshes, estuaries, and so forth) also contain important proxy data of past environmental change, and many of the approaches discussed in this book can be equally applied to these environments. The amount of information stored in sediments is staggering, with both allochthonous and autochthonous sources of proxy data (Fig. 1), and so it soon became clear to the series editors that several books would be required to summarize some of the commonly used methods. These books build on the foundation set by previous compilations of paleoenvironmental techniques, such as Gray (1988), Warner (1990), and especially Berglund (1986). The latter has been the standard reference for about 15 years. Moreover, Frey’s (1964) review remains a classic publication that contains a wealth of historical references on the use of invertebrate indicators in paleolimnology.
