strong fluctuations in its level. Sites where several climate
archives co-exist, allowing the large-scale climate signal to
be differentiated from local conditions are relatively rare.
The example discussed here shows the benefits to be gained
from the co-location of a glacier archive and a lacustrine
archive.
