Abstract
Maximizing the information yield from annually resolving natural archives
Highlights
Natural archives containing yearly information are impressive, esthetically and in terms of their scientific potential. They hold the key to bridging the divide between long but low-resolution paleoscience and short but detailed climatic and environmental monitoring
Reality often stands in the way by presenting considerable challenges that need to be overcome before producing paleorecords at monitoring quality
Researchers are working hard to improve methodologies and understanding in order to maximize the yield from annual-resolution archives, and we report in this magazine issue on some of the latest advances and their limitations
Summary
Natural archives containing yearly information are impressive, esthetically (see cover picture) and in terms of their scientific potential. Researchers are working hard to improve methodologies and understanding in order to maximize the yield from annual-resolution archives, and we report in this magazine issue on some of the latest advances and their limitations. The Varves Working Group The potential of annually laminated (varved) sediments for developing detailed chronologies of past environmental change was recognized by geologists more than a century ago.
