It is a common practice to reconstruct glacier activity from lake sediment records. Such an approach is generally applied to proglacial lakes. However in some cases, terrigenous inputs from glaciated areas are dominating enough to make distant sedimentary basins sensitive to glacier fluctuations. This is the case in Lake Bourget, located on the...
In this paper we present a review of a ca. 10-years research effort (1-9) aiming at reconstructing floods dynamicsin in French Alps through the Holocene, based on lake sediment records. We will particularly discuss how such geological records can be considered as representative of past climate. This implies a wise interpretation of data in...
A high-resolution sedimentological study of Lake Bourget was conducted to reconstruct the flood frequency and intensity (or magnitude) in the area over the last 350 years. Particular emphasis was placed on investigating the spatio-temporal distribution of flood deposits in this large lake basin. The thicknesses of deposits resulting from 30...
