The presentation was based on materials from the international conference “Palaeolimnology of Northern Eurasia”, which O. Dmitrieva had attended in 20-24.09.2014. The conference was devoted to reconstruction of palaeogeographic and palaeoclimatic environments in Northern Eurasia using interdisciplinary studies of sediment cores from lakes of different types.
