Sensitivity of Bunker Cave to climatic forcings highlighted through multi-annual monitoring of rain-, soil-, and dripwaters [PDF]
, 2017 The last two decades have seen a considerable increase in studies using speleothems as archives of past climate variability. Caves under study are now monitored for a wide range of environmental parameters and results placed in context with speleothem ...

Quantification of lignin oxidation products as vegetation biomarkers in speleothems and cave drip water [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2018 Here we present a sensitive method to analyze lignin oxidation products (LOPs) in speleothems and cave drip water to provide a new tool for paleo-vegetation reconstruction. Speleothems are valuable climate archives.

Peculiar calcite speleothems filling fissures in calcareous sandstones and their palaeohydrological and palaeoclimatic significance : an example from the Polish Carpathians [PDF]
, 2012 Peculiar calcite speleothems developed in fissures in the Cergowa Sandstones were found in the Klęczany Quarry (Polish Western Carpathians). They represent flowstone and stalactites, rafts and various sparry crusts.

España Speleothems in karstic caves beneath paleoglaciers in the Central Pyrenees
GeogacetaWe explore the potential of various caves and karst systems of the Central Pyrenees (Lecherines-Collarada-Monte Perdido-Escuaín-Vignemale-Cotiella-Aneto-Maladeta) that could host speleothems that grew in karstic caves under glaciated areas.

Stable oxygen and carbon isotope compositional fields for skeletal and diagenetic components in New Zealand Cenozoic nontropical carbonate sediments and limestones: a synthesis and review [PDF]
, 1996 The stable oxygen isotope composition (d¹⁸O) of a precipitated carbonate depends mainly on the isotope composition, salinity, and temperature of the host fluid, whereas the stable carbon isotope composition (d¹³C) reflects the source of CO2 for ...
