Peer review from Hyunsoo Lee (Long-term envi class)

It is good that you are working as a team with Jamila to work on the article. You guys made detailed plans for editing by dividing tasks per each person, the topic by topic editions. Adding more of why the long-term records from inland water sphere is important and distinct from other sphere records, for studying overall long-term environmental changes, would be good :) Hyunsoo Lee (talk) 02:23, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

comments[edit]

This article could use a lot of expansion and is a good choice for your course work. However, your part (Syler) on modern lake chemical and physical environments is better suited for the article Limnology, not this article. I would not have these sections in the article, but rather briefly summarize the important aspects of the limnic environment (temperature and oxygen profiles, chemoclines and nutrients, etc. Note there are sections in the article 'Trophic State index" that discuss nutrient regimes in lakes. So be sure to include wikilinks out to those article sections.

There is a five-volume set that gives a broad overview of paleoenvironmental research from lake sediments . Some sections in those books deal specifically with reconstructing the lake environment. Diatom analysis is a key method in paleolimnology, and there is only a short description of it (on Phanerozoic time scales) in the Diatom article.

Be sure to copy in your edits into the main article little bits at a time, keeping track of your changes using the Summary box.Answer.to.the.rock (talk) 12:50, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
