Speleothems are primarily studied in order to generate archives of climatic change and
results have led to significant advances in identifying and dating major shifts in the climate …

Speleothems are now established as important palaeoenvironmental archives and contain a
number of suitable proxies, although trace elements have been much less widely used than …

uring the spring of 1960, an uncle showed me a 'petrifying spring'near Plaxtol in Kent
Dwhere twigs had been encased in a calcareous jacket. A twig was collected and having …

A better understanding of the relative roles of internal climate variability and external
contributions, from both natural (solar, volcanic) and anthropogenic greenhouse gas forcing …

Corals open an exceptional window into many phenomena of geological, geochemical,
climatic, and paleontological interest. From the Paleozoic to the present, corals provide …

The extent to which climate variability in Central Asia is causally linked to large-scale
changes in the Asian monsoon on varying timescales remains a longstanding question …

There are very few process studies that demonstrate the annual variation in cave
environments depositing speleothems. Accordingly, we initiated a monitoring program at the …

An increasing number of scientists recognize the value of speleothems1 as often extremely
well-preserved archives of information about past climate, vegetation, hydrology, sea level …

The Levant constitutes an important region for assessing linkages between climate and
societal changes throughout the course of human history. However, large uncertainties …

We report the presence of clear annual cycles in trace-element (Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca, Ba/Ca, and
