Late Quaternary Stratigraphy and Radiocarbon Chronology of Water Level Fluctuations in Lake Keilambete, Victoria

Nature volume 232, pages 330–332 (1971)Cite this article

Abstract

WHEN compared with the northern hemisphere, the southern hemisphere has provided little palaeoclimatic information on the past 30,000 yr. A systematic study of lakes is under way to help establish a reliable palaeoclimatic sequence covering this period in south-east Australia and to explore possible correlations with worldwide climatically controlled events. This is a preliminary report of the stratigraphic and radiocarbon analysis of deposits from Lake Keilambete, located within the western Victorian volcanic province near Kerang 190 km west-south-west of Melbourne (Fig. 1).
