abstract = {Hydrological changes that occurred during the last 4700
years have been reconstructed using multi-proxy analyses of
sediment cores from the volcanic crater lake of Laguna
Cháltel (50°S, 71°W). The chronology is based on AMS 14C
age modeling constrained by paleomagnetic secular
variations. Chemical and physical properties of the lake
water together with results of lake-water
surface-temperature monitoring, as well as sediment
characteristics reveal conspicuous features archived as
different sedimentary carbonate phases and morphologies
which are attributed to lake-level changes.Sedimentological,
geochemical and biological proxies together suggest the
development from an initial playa lake-phase towards a
system with progressively rising lake level. In detail,
proxies indicate the existence of an ephemeral lake since
4700 cal BP until a glauberite-bearing carbonate crust
formed around 4040 cal BP which probably is associated to
the globally recognized 4.2 ka event. This crust is
interpreted as a desiccation event terminating the ephemeral
lake phase. Following this desiccation a shift towards
conditions with a positive hydrological balance of Laguna
Cháltel occurs, which leads to the development of a saline
lake with ooid formation between 4040 and 3200 cal BP.
Further lake-level increase with initially high minerogenic
input until 2700 cal BP resulted in a lake freshening which
allowed the preservation of diatoms. Sigmoidal and star
shaped carbonate crystals occurred until 1720 cal BP
indicating a syn- or post-depositional formation of ikaite.
Anoxic conditions and increased deposition of clay and sand
through fluvial and eolian input are interpreted as a
further lake-level rise and/or a prolonged winter ice cover
culminating during the Little Ice Age. The highest lake
level was probably reached at that time and since then
dropped to its present day height.Previous studies have
shown that the southern hemisphere westerly winds (SWW)
exert an oppositional control on hydrological regimes at the
eastern and the western sides of the Patagonian Andes. At
Laguna Cháltel SWW forcing is changing evaporation rates by
varying wind intensities, air temperatures and lake ice
coverages as well as by precipitation rates (easterly vs.
westerly sources of moisture). Our data suggests that the
lake-level history of Laguna Cháltel reflects changes in
the SWW during the last 4.7 ka on the eastern side of the
Andes. However, the elevated location of Laguna Cháltel on
an 800 m high plateau at the leeward side of the Andes
potentially leads to a local overprint of the SWW influence
on the hydrological balance.},
