Limnogeology Laboratory
Geological Institute ETH Zürich
and
Dübendorf + Kastanienbaum
The Limnogeology Laboratory investigates lake sediments of various temporal and spatial scales in order to
reconstruct environmental changes of the past. These include for instance
climate change, catastrophic events or human impact. There is a variety or
research projects using the approach developed in the context of marine geology
and geophysics, including modern limnologic calibrations, seismic surveying,
sediment coring and diverse analytical techniques. In addition, limnogeology is
part of the courses in the Earth Science curriculum and the focus of a series
of diploma theses, emphasizing the educational significance of investigating
lacustrine basins.
