The range of tasks includes sediment descriptions as well as carrying out sedimentological and geochemical analyses on sediment cores, which will be recovered during a fieldtrip at the beginning of the project. The creation of a time scale with different methods forms another important aspect for these investigations. Evaluation and visualization of collected data are placed in the context of regional and of southern hemispheric climate dynamics. Particular attention will be paid to recording data related to the regional water availability (droughts, floods) and integration with the Late Holocene climate development (Little Ice Age, Medieval Climate Optimum, El Niño Southern Oscillation). This investigation aims at producing a cumulative dissertation, the results of which will be published in scientific publications and presented at national and international conferences.
