The sediment succession of Lake Imandra in the central Kola region was investigated by a hydro-acoustic survey followed by sediment coring of site Co1410 (67°42'56.76"N, 33°5'6.42"E) down to the acoustic basement. We reconstructed the environmental history of Lake Imandra after the last deglaciation based on physical, biogeochemical, sedimentological, granulometrical, and micropalaeontological proxies. Our findings reveal the timing of the onset of lacustrine sediment deposition in the lake basin during the Late Glacial and the variability of climatic signals throughout the Holocene.
