Abstract

Using remote sensing data the subrecent shorelines between 1951 and 2014 can be documented. Higher Pleistocene lake levels are identified up to 11 km north of Orog Nuur. It is referred about sediment standards of four drilling cores with lake deposits and their paleo-climate implications. Based on the lake deposits one pollen diagram and its interpretation is pointed out.
