The research aimed to study the climate and humidity change during the Holocene in Bandung Paleo-Lake based on palynomorph analysis. The twenty-four samples were taken using hand drill in 172.5 - 52.5 cm depth, continued with preparation and determination. In this study, descriptive analysis and comparison between pollen, spores and their sediments to show the climate and humidity change in Bandung Paleo-Lake.
