  <Summary>
    <Abstract>Records of past climate and environment derived from lake sediment records.  Parameter keywords describe what was measured in this data set.  Additional summary information can be found in the abstracts of papers listed in the data set citations.
 
          STUDY NOTES: A 7,700 year record of Holocene climatic and environmental variability 
in Sermilik Valley, located on Ammassalik Island, SE Greenland. This objective of this study
is to determine the timing of major Holocene climate transitions as expressed in the physical, 
elemental, and geochemical parameters preserved in the 484 cm sediment record of Lower Sermilik 
Lake. Major transitions observed in this study include the deglaciation of Sermilik Valley, 
the onset and termination of the Holocene Climatic Optimum, the transition into neoglacial conditions, 
and the Little Ice Age.</Abstract>
