Clumped Isotope Temperature Reconstruction Using Stalagmite Drip Cups. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Rationale Application of clumped isotope palaeothermometry to speleothems (carbonate cave deposits, e.g., stalagmites and flowstones) has been restricted largely to subaqueous samples because of kinetic fractionation processes that occur during subaerial speleothem formation, which lead to erroneously high inferred temperatures.

Global Warming and Mass Extinctions Associated With Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Last interglacial sea-level history from speleothems: a global standardized database [PDF]
Speleothems (secondary cave carbonate precipitates) are archives of valuable information for reconstructing past sea levels as they are generally protected from weathering and erosion by their location and can be dated with U-series methods.

Hydrologic Evolution of a Carbonate Aquifer (Dinaric Karst, Croatia)
Dinaric Karst terrains contain specific, lam inatedspeleothems, which line all surfaces of subterraneanvoids including Cretaceous bedrock limestone, and oldervadose speleothems and clastic sediments.

Constraining Holocene hydrological changes in the Carpathian–Balkan region using speleothem δ18O and pollen-based temperature reconstructions [PDF]
Here we present a speleothem isotope record (POM2) from Ascunsă Cave (Romania) that provides new data on past climate changes in the Carpathian–Balkan region from 8.2 ka until the present.
