Abstract:

Midge fossils have emerged as one of the leading indicators of past environmental changes. They are being widely used to infer past changes in lakewater chemistry and summer climate. In this paper, I review the development of midge fossils as palaeoenvironmental indicators, with emphasis on current statistical inference procedures and problems.
