Overview
- Connects present environmental information with that of the past quantitatively in lake-catchment systems in East Asia
- Shows lake-catchment systems to be used for continuous monitoring as “proxy observatories” for environmental information
- Indicates that limnogeomorphology can relate present-day earth surface processes to long-term past changes in earth-surface environments
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book
Traditionally, in the field of earth sciences, it has been thought that geophysical studies dealing mainly with the present process were not smoothly linked to geological studies that originated from historical studies. Although such earth-surface process studies are closely related to those on historical landform development in the field of geomorphology, they have been studied separately. Those two geomorphology studies correspond to process geomorphology (dynamic geomorphology) and historical geomorphology. There have been some attempts to combine them; however, they lacked past quantitative records available for further analyses. In the study of limnogeomorphology, proxy data can be convertedto quantitative information to be utilized in future environmental discussions.
This book also covers information not only on large lake-catchment systems, but on small systems. Those include long-term and short-term and large-scale and small-scale environmental changes in east Eurasia such as Lake Baikal, Lake Khuvsgul, Lake Biwa, and small lakes in Japan, Mongolia, China, and Korea.
