QUA volume 98 Cover and Front matter

A geochemical and mineralogical analysis of Lake Futalaufquen's sediments in Los Alerces National Park, Argentina, reveals critical environmental processes spanning the last 1600 years. This pristine glacial lake, influenced by westerly winds and volcanic ash from the Southern Volcanic Zone, offers a unique record of climate variability in Northern Patagonia. The study leverages the lake's limited human impact to reconstruct past environmental conditions, providing insights into regional climatic shifts.
