The role of seasonality is indisputable in climate and ecosystem dynamics. Seasonal
temperature and precipitation variability are of vital importance for the availability of food …

The Anthropocene as a potential new unit of the International Chronostratigraphic Chart
(which serves as the basis of the Geological Time Scale) is assessed in terms of the …

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 …

Abstract The Little Ice Age (LIA) is known as one of the coldest stages of the Holocene. Most
records from the Northern Hemisphere show evidence of significantly colder conditions …

A Holocene stalagmite from Botuverá Cave, southeastern Brazil was analyzed by LA-ICPMS
for Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca, Ba/Ca. The observed variability in the record was demonstrated to be …

Abstract The upper Hanjiang River region is the recharge area of the middle route of South-
to-North Water Transfer Project. The region is under construction of the Hanjiang-Weihe …

Trace element variations in ancient cave speleothems are often interpreted as indicators of
changes in paleo-rainfall and hydrologic conditions. However, these records are difficult to …

Trace element to Ca ratios in speleothems have emerged as important proxies that reflect
local environmental conditions. However, interpretations of speleothem trace element …

This paper aims to establish evidence for the widespread existence of metal binding and
transport by natural organic matter (NOM) in karst dripwaters, the imprint of which in …

We present bulk average Sr and Mg data for 13 speleothems from different locations in the
western equatorial Pacific (Guam, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu). These data plot on a …
