Abstract
To be able to make sustainable management plans we should know previous conditions of any region.
Natural archives and their preserved proxies are used to track past environmental and climatic changes in time
scales longer than instrumental records. Most of the natural archives that have been used to reveal the past are
coming from the central, south central and northwestern Anatolia. However, glacial lakes and their sediment in the
northeastern part of Turkey are untapped source of information. Here, I will discuss existing knowledge from different
natural archives in Anatolia, and in southern Black Sea coast since the Late Glacial and possible future research
questions in northeastern part of Turkey.
