Limnogeology, also known as lacustrine geology, is a specialized branch of geology that focuses on the study of lakes and their associated sediments. This field combines principles from geology, limnology, and paleontology in order to understand the formation, evolution, and history of lakes. These natural bodies of water are not only beautiful and vital for our ecosystem, but they also hold valuable information about Earth’s past. One of the main goals of limnogeology is to reconstruct past environmental changes in lakes.
