Such abiotic proxy records include shifts in the isotopic composition of glacial deposits (and to some extent permafrost or pore water), which provide regional information about changes in origin, air-mass evolution, and condensation temperature of precipitation (or recharge); changes in summer melt characteristics of glacial deposits or sedimentary and geomorphological evidence such as the presence of laminated lake sediments (varves), the latter of which are indicative of water depths great enough to produce stratified water columns and meromixis; and variations in varve thicknesses in lakes and fining/coarsening sequences or paleoshoreline mapping that can be used to reconstruct shifts in lake or sea levels.
