Scientific Projects

Five SNF-supported research modules will be investigated by Eawag groups that complement each other and that provide critical components in the multinational and multidisciplinary effort to reconstruct the Quaternary history of Lake Van.

• Module A
  Sedimentology and stratigraphic framework and implications for lake level changes and paleoseismology [...]
  
  
• Module B (together with Climate Geology ETHZ)
  Geochemical analyses of solid phase (climate proxies) and fluid phase [...]
  
  
• Module C
  Organic geochemistry, biomarkers, 14C dating of single compounds [...]
  
  
• Module D
  Beryllium-10 as a tracer of solar and geomagnetic variability and erosion rate [...]
  
  
• Module E
  Noble gases as proxy for vertical fluid transport in the sediment column and lake level fluctuations [...]
