Become part of an international research collaboration to understand past groundwater versus river runoff and rainfall recharge for Lake Ohrid (North Macedonia, Albania), one of the most iconic paleoclimate archives in the Mediterranean. You will be analysing strontium isotope analyses from lake carbonate in up to 450 m long sediment cores recovered in 2013 under the umbrella of an scientific deep drilling operation.
We aim to untangle how karst recharge versus direct precipitation controls Lake Ohrid’s water balance, providing unprecedented insights into past hydrologic change, and allowing to revolutionse our understanding of past rainfall variability in the Mediterranean region.
