Hey @paleofire, I have a student that I am helping with his dissertation project and he needs to count #charcoal. Do you guys have any go to texts for lab and counting methods? I have not done this type of analysis before. #wildfire#palaeoecology#paleoecology#microscopy
Lovely laminations! Section from one of our sediment cores taken from Rush Lake in Lower Geyser Basin in #Yellowstone, showing a thick gravel to the left and fine laminations (very fine layering) to the right. Elemental geochemistry will tell us if these lithologies are the product of seasonal glacial melt, hydrothermal activity, or something else!
