Speleothem Paleoclimatology for the Caribbean, Central America, and North America [PDF]
Quaternary, 2019 Speleothem oxygen isotope records from the Caribbean, Central, and North America reveal climatic controls that include orbital variation, deglacial forcing related to ocean circulation and ice sheet retreat, and the influence of local and remote sea ...

Local hydroclimate alters interpretation of speleothem δ 18O records [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsOxygen isotopes (δ 18O) are the most commonly utilized speleothem proxy and have provided many foundational records of paleoclimate. Thus, understanding processes affecting speleothem δ 18O is crucial.

Paleoclimate in continental northwestern Europe during the Eemian and early Weichselian (125–97 ka): insights from a Belgian speleothem [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2016 The last interglacial serves as an excellent time interval for studying climate dynamics during past warm periods. Speleothems have been successfully used for reconstructing the paleoclimate of last interglacial continental Europe.

StalGrowth—A Program to Estimate Speleothem Growth Rates and Seasonal Growth Variations
Geosciences, 2021 Speleothems are one of the few archives which allow us to reconstruct the terrestrial paleoclimate and help us to understand the important climate dynamics in inhabited regions of our planet.

Evaluating model outputs using integrated global speleothem records of climate change since the last glacial [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2019 Although quantitative isotope data from speleothems has been used to evaluate isotope-enabled model simulations, currently no consensus exists regarding the most appropriate methodology through which to achieve this.

Reconstructing seasonality through stable-isotope and trace-element analyses of the Proserpine stalagmite, Han-sur-Lesse cave, Belgium : indications for climate-driven changes during the last 400 years [PDF]
, 2020 Fast-growing speleothems allow for the reconstruction of palaeoclimate down to a seasonal scale. Additionally, annual lamination in some of these speleothems yields highly accurate age models for these palaeoclimate records, making these speleothems ...

Initiation of a Stable Convective Hydroclimatic Regime in Central America Circa 9000 Years BP [PDF]
, 2020 Many Holocene hydroclimate records show rainfall changes that vary with local orbital insolation. However, some tropical regions display rainfall evolution that differs from gradual precessional pacing, suggesting that direct rainfall forcing effects ...
