Paleolimnology has multiple applications, lake management being one of them. The main objective of this report was to produce a summary of paleolimnological studies completed in Alberta. Several sources were searched for published and non-published literature. Search results were reviewed and summarized to develop an annotated bibliography. This information was further summarized to present a picture of lake development in Alberta over the distant (~10,000 years) and recent (~200 years) past. Additionally, the report presents recommendations for future paleolimnological studies to address areas of concern in Alberta lake management.--Document.
