A multi-proxy approach to assessing isolation basin stratigraphy 
from the Lofoten Islands, Norway.

  <Summary>
    <Abstract>This study takes a comprehensive approach to characterizing 
the isolation sequence of Heimerdalsvatnet, a coastal lake 
in the Lofoten Islands, northern Norway. We use established 
methods and explore new techniques to assess changes in marine 
influence. Bathymetric and sub-bottom profiles were acquired 
to examine basin-wide sedimentation and a 5.8 m sediment core 
spanning the last 7800 cal yr BP was analyzed.  We measured 
magnetic susceptibility, bulk organic matter properties, 
molecular biomarkers, diatom assemblages, and elemental 
profiles acquired by scanning X-ray fluorescence. These 
characteristics of the sediment reflect detailed changes 
in salinity and water column conditions as the lake was 
progressively isolated. Three distinct litho/chemo-stratigraphic 
units represent a restricted marine phase (7800–6500 cal yr BP), 
a transitional phase characterized by intermittent marine 
influence (6500-4900 cal yr BP), and complete isolation 
and freshwater sedimentation (4900 cal yr BP to present). 
Although there are uncertainties in the estimate of the 
threshold elevation of the lake, the timing of these phases 
generally corresponds with previous interpretations of the 
local relative sea-level history. This record captures sea-level 
regression following the Tapes transgression and supports the 
interpretation of a subsequent sea-level stillstand, dated in
Heimerdalsvatnet from 6500 to 4900 cal yr BP. 
          STUDY NOTES: Multiproxy sediment data from Heimerdalsvatnet, Lofoten Islands, 
Norway for the past 7800 years.  Data include sediment physical 
properties, carbon and nitrogen content and isotopes, molecular 
biomarkers, and scanning X-ray fluorescence elemental data.
