Active Tectonics of the Eastern and Southern Alps ‐ Crustal Response to Deep Processes? A Review
Abstract Owing to the low N‐S convergence rates between Adria and Europe, crustal deformation rates in the Alps and its forelands are low. Active tectonics are, therefore, difficult to study, especially as non‐tectonic landscape forming processes can erase or modify the tectonic surface imprint. Large‐scale and dense seismological data recently offered

Verification of the causes of glaciations and sea level changes using the records of calcite speleothems. [PDF]
The luminescence of calcite speleothems displays an exponential dependence on soil temperature unless there is a dense cover of forest over the cave to dampen it.

Abstract The exhumation of Alpine Corsica is the result of Oligocene‐Miocene lithospheric back‐arc extension in the wake of the eastward migration of Apenninic subduction. Although the geometry, kinematics and timing of ductile detachments are well constrained, the brittle extension leading to final exhumation of Alpine Corsica is less documented.

Biogenic speleothems: an overview
The idea that speleothems may be somehow influenced by living organisms is rather old, but specific studies have only started in the last few decades and presently there are only a couple of systematic papers on this topic. The role of micro-organisms is perhaps the best investigated even if it is not fully understood, while studies over upper ...

Precipitation Intensity Increased Across the South Pacific Convergence Zone in the Industrial Age
Abstract The position, strength, and variability of precipitation in the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) remain challenging for coupled ocean‐atmosphere climate models to represent, leaving future rainfall projections in this dynamically important region uncertain.

Abstract Dansgaard‐Oeschger (D‐O) events are millennial‐scale high‐latitude climate oscillations with abrupt climate transitions between stadial and interstadial conditions, which are well recorded in and outside of high northern latitudes. However, their signal propagation mechanisms from high to low latitudes are uncertain.

Uranium-series dating of gypsum speleothems: methodology and examples. [PDF]
The analytical problems of dating gypsum speleothems with the U-series technique are reviewed. Gypsum speleothems are, in general, very low in U content, challenging the limits of detection methods.

SISAL: Bringing Added Value to Speleothem Research
Isotopic records from speleothems are an important source of information about past climates and, given the increase in the number of isotope-enabled climate models, are likely to become an important tool for climate model evaluation.
