The book discusses a comprehensive overview of various limnological approaches for climate studies, and sheds light on a multi-dimensional approach (i.e., field, laboratory, and data analysis; modern investigations; proxy development/calibration; proxy interpretation; and validation of climate models with proxy data) for climate reconstruction. The study highlighted the utilization of lake sediment as an archive for paleoclimate research. With the help of several case studies from around the globe (Israel, India, Turkey, Kyrgyzstan, Tibet, China and Europe), this brief provides a unique way to understand the implication of the methodological framework for climate studies. The book emphasizes the importance of field-based modern investigations to establish baseline characteristics of lake basins according to changes in environmental conditions. It also unveils the role of paleoclimate studies in climate model validation to forecast future climate variability. The book is a valuable resource for early career researchers interested in climate studies especially those using lake sediments as climate archive.

Dr. Praveen K. Mishra is an assistant professor at the Cluster University of Jammu, India. He is from an earth science background with specialisation in limnology, paleolimnology, sedimentology, geochemistry and environmental science. His research focusses mainly on understanding the factors controlling present and past climate variability in the Indian monsoon domain. Currently, he is associated with a centrally funded project focussing on understanding past climate variability in Himalayan region. Dr Mishra has published several research articles in peer-reviewed journals and contributed to numerous books and conference proceedings. He is also associated with teaching numerous subjects in earth sciences, including geochemistry, paleoclimatology, and quaternary geology.
