Holocene lake salinity changes in the Wimmera, southeastern Australia, provide evidence for millennial-scale climate variability

Kemp, J., Radke, L. C., Olley, J., Juggins, S. and De Deckker, P.: Holocene lake salinity changes in the Wimmera, southeastern Australia, provide evidence for millennial-scale climate variability, Quaternary Research, 77(1), 65–76, doi:10.1016/j.yqres.2011.09.013, 2012.

Sediment samples were disaggregated for approximately 24 h in 7% H2O2 solution and sieved at 63 μm to isolate authigenic (i.e., precipitated in-lake) carbonate material and to limit contamination by biogenic carbonate shell material. The captured <63 μm fraction of the sediment was settled from rinse water and then centrifuged, and the remaining liquid was decanted. The resulting fine grained carbonate sediment was bleached (using a 50% bleach, 50% water solution), rinsed three times using deionized water, freeze-dried, and homogenizedsing an agate mortar and pestle.

Lime Lake d18O values, however, are controlled by the isotopic composition of meteoric water (i.e., rain and snowfall), which is influenced by the origin of atmospheric moisture, air mass trajectory, Rayleigh distillation, and air temperature
