To investigate climatic variability and human impact on the environment at Laguna Pocitos over the last 350 years.
Multi-proxy analysis of sediment core including magnetic susceptibility and stable isotopes
Comparison of ecological indicators such as charcoal and pollen
Assessment of historical climatic conditions through core data
Initial period (~1670–1758 CE) shows increased water levels and frequent fire events in a grassland landscape.
Between ~1760–1870 CE, water level fluctuations coincide with increased human presence and disturbance species.
Post-1870 CE, a decline in water levels leads to droughts correlated with the Pampas Dust Bowl.
