Popis:	Waldsea Lake, a small (~5 km2), meromictic lake in central Saskatchewan, is one of the most intensely studied saline lacustrine environments in western Canada. The high salinity and meromixis of this topographically and hydrologically closed basin result in exceptional preservation of fine lamination coupled with a diverse endogenic and authigenic mineral suite. This study applies new high resolution paleolimnological techniques to decipher the chemical and hydrologic fluctuations that have occurred in Waldsea over the past several thousand years and shows that significant geolimnological fluctuations have occurred within the past two millennia.
