AbstractThe geometry and facies of deposits in lake Afourgagh (Middle-Atlas, Morocco) provide evidence for successive major lake level fluctuations during the last 2,500 years. Sedimentation is mainly biogenic with the laying down of thick charophyte-rich tufas interbedded with silty layers in distal areas and palaeosols in proximal areas. These alternations point to four major deposit sequences with lowstand phases. The first two phases are dated at ca. 2426 and 1869 cal B.P. These events appear to be linked to major arid episodes on a regional scale. However, climatic impact has been modulated by human activities, particularly during recent decades.

AbstractLacustrine deposits exposed around Lake Aricota, Peru (17° 22′S), a 7.5-km2 lake dammed by debris flows, provide a middle to late Holocene record of lake-level fluctuations. Chronological context for shoreline deposits was obtained from radiocarbon dating of vascular plant remains and other datable material with minimal 14C reservoir effects (<350 yr). Diatomites associated with highstands several meters above the modern lake level indicate wet episodes. Maximum Holocene lake level was attained before 6100 14C yr B.P. and ended ∼2700 14C yr B.P. Moderately high lake levels occurred at 1700 and 1300 14C yr B.P. The highstand at Lake Aricota during the middle Holocene is coeval with a major lowstand at Lake Titicaca (16°S), which is only 130 km to the northeast and shares a similar climatology. Comparisons with other marine and terrestrial records highlight emerging contradictions over the nature of mid-Holocene climate in the central Andes.
