Paleoclimatic reconstruction of central Iberian Peninsula during the last 50 ka cal. BP, based on physical an geochemical data from the Fuentillejo maar lacustrine record (Campo de Calatrava, Ciudad Real)

Physical (magnetic susceptibility and gamma density measurements) and geochemical (TOC, Fe and Ti analysis) analysis were performed to characterize the sedimentary record in Fuentillejo maar-lake (Campo de Calatrava Volcanic Field) in order to reconstruct the paleoenvironmental evolution, which controlled deposition of different sedimentary facies. The upper 20 m of FU-1 sequence point out variations in clastic input, water chemistry and organic fraction in the lake throughout the last 50 kyr cal. BP. Magnetic susceptibility are roughly influenced by diagenetic changes in organic rich sediment
