Abstract
I was thrilled to receive a Lifetime Achievement Medal at the 15th International Paleolimnology Symposium (IPS) in Bariloche, Argentina (2022). I will use this opportunity to tell the story of how I stumbled into the field of paleolimnology, a discipline I had not heard of until I entered graduate school. In retrospect, I feel extremely lucky to have been able to spend the last five decades addressing interesting paleoclimate/paleoenvironment questions. Furthermore, my research and teaching have taken me to many biologically fascinating and culturally intriguing places around the world. I will also use this forum to express my gratitude to the many mentors, colleagues, students, friends, and acquaintances with whom I have collaborated throughout my career. Whatever success I have enjoyed, I attribute to my good fortune in having been able to work with numerous talented and hard-working fellow scientists.
期刊介绍：
The realization that a historical perspective is often useful, if not essential, to the understanding of most limnological processes has resulted in the recent surge of interest in paleolimnology. The main aim of the Journal of Paleolimnology is the provision of a vehicle for the rapid dissemination of original scientific work dealing with the reconstruction of lake histories. Although the majority of papers deal with lakes, paleoenvironmental studies of river, wetland, peatland and estuary systems are also eligible for publication.
The Journal of Paleolimnology, like the subject itself, is multidisciplinary in nature, and papers are published that are concerned with all aspects (e.g. biological, chemical, physical, geological, etc.) of the reconstruction and interpretation of lake histories. Both applied and more theoretical papers are equally encouraged. The Journal of Paleolimnology will continue to be a major repository for papers dealing with climatic change, as well as other pressing topics, such as global environmental change, lake acidification, eutrophication, long-term monitoring, and other aspects of lake ontogeny. Taxonomic and methodological papers are also acceptable provided they are of relatively broad interest. New equipment designs are frequently featured. In addition to original data and ideas, the Journal of Paleolimnology also publishes review articles, commentaries and program announcements. A relevant Book Review Section is also featured.
