Show processes ( e. g., thermal and isotopic evolution, evaporation, change in lake size) in response to a set of meteorological and chemical inputs ( e. g., radiation, temperature, wind, precipitation and runoff and their isotopic compositions). Because these types of process models are driven by atmospheric parameters, through downscaling of simulations of global paleoclimate, they can be used to provide a link between past climates and geologic records from lake basins. In this talk, I will give an overview of the modeling strategy outlined above. Examples of how this strategy can be applied to assess the role of climate in determining various processes of aquatic systems will be presented. |
