Palaeolimnological study of the history of Loe Pool. Helston, and its catchment

Abstract

The study traces the history and development of Loe Pool, a 50 hectare freshwater coastal lake near Helston, Cornwall, using a wide variety of palaeolimnological and associated research techniques. The principle upon which such research is based is that there is an intimate relationship between the history of a catchment and the lake into which it drains. In addition, the history of the shingle bar which now isolates Loe Pool from the sea is explored, as this has also had a significant bearing on the lake's physical and ecological development.
