As part of the U.S. Geological Survey's Global Change and Climate History Program, sediment magnetic and geochemical results have been obtained from the top 60 meters of lacustrine sediments recovered in two cores from Tule Lake in northern California. The sediment magnetic and geochemical data, presented here in tabular form, complement studies of diatoms and pollen in the cores that are the bases for published paleoclimatic interpretations (Adam and others, 1989; Bradbury, 1991). Comparisons of magnetic mineral and geochemical records to the existing climate records may provide insight into the response of lake-watershed system to climate change (e.g., Rosenbaum and others, 1996). This report also documents the methods used to obtain the magnetic properties and geochemical data. Adam and others (1989) describe the site, the drilling methods, and lithology of the lacustrine sediments.
