Over recent decades, palaeolimnological
records from remote sites have provided convincing
evidence for the onset and development of several
facets of global environmental change. Remote lakes,
defined here as those occurring in high latitude or high
altitude regions, have the advantage of not being
overprinted by local anthropogenic processes. As
such, many of these sites record broad-scale environmental changes, frequently driven by regime shifts in
the Earth system. Here, we review a selection of
studies from North America and Europe and discuss
their broader implications. The history of investigation
has evolved synchronously with the scope and awareness of environmental problems. An initial focus on
acid deposition switched to metal and other types of
pollutants, then climate change and eventually to
atmospheric deposition-fertilising effects. However,
none of these topics is independent of the other, and all
of them affect ecosystem function and biodiversity in
profound ways. Currently, remote lake palaeolimnology is developing unique datasets for each region
investigated that benchmark current trends with respect to past, purely natural variability in lake
systems. Fostering conceptual and methodological
bridges with other environmental disciplines will
upturn contribution of remote lake palaeolimnology
in solving existing and emerging questions in global
change science and planetary stewardship.
