Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) U–Pb
geochronology of carbonate minerals, calcite in particular, is rapidly gaining popularity as an …

Annually laminated speleothems have the potential to provide information on high‐
frequency climate variability and, simultaneously, provide good chronological constraints …

Proxy records from across the Southern Hemisphere show significant local to regional scale
variability in climatic and environmental conditions during late Marine Isotope Stage 3 and …

Abstract Aim The Australian deserts are home to a remarkable diversity of taxa that might
appear to have evolved in the absence of topographic and physical barriers to dispersal. In …

Caves are important fossil repositories which provide records extending back over million-
year timescales. While the physical processes of cave formation are well understood, the …

Abstract The Nullarbor Plain constitutes one of the main biogeographic barriers of Australia,
and it has been suggested to have played a key role in the disjunct distribution of numerous …

The recent development of methods for in situ U–Pb age determination in carbonates has
found widespread application, but the benefits and limitations of the method over bulk …

Accurate chronology of climatic shifts is critical to understand the controls on landscape and
species evolution. Unfortunately, direct dating of continental climate change is hindered by …

Speleothems (cave carbonate) contain fluid inclusions that are natural repositories of cave
drip water and precipitation respectively. This water is stored within the speleothem calcite …

Caves have been historically sources of literary and mythological inspiration, settings for
geographical, geological, and biological research and, undoubtedly, cornerstones for …
