Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (MATCOM), 1988, vol. 30, issue 1, 139-144

Abstract: The sediment of Lake Parramatta, Sydney, contains complex laminations interspersed between massive sediment layers of known age. This paper describes a simulation of sedimentary process, based on climatic data, that allows the accurate dating of these laminated sediments. Detailed chronologies of this type are essential to monitoring environmental change through the study of fossils and chemistry of lake sediments.
