A Paleolimnological Analysis of Possum Kingdom Lake
Reservoirs are typically considered too young and dynamic to validate paleolimnological analysis (Filstrup et al. 2010). Using biological and mineralogical proxies, three shifts were identified in the history of Possum Kingdom Lake, successfully demonstrating the application of paleolimnology in reservoirs. The trends documented may provide insight into the factors driving the P. parvum blooms that have been responsible for extensive economic losses.
