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 …

Originally published in 1989, Karst Geomorphology and Hydrology became the leading
textbook on karst studies. This new textbook has been substantially revised and updated …

Filling a gap in the karst literature, this book describes methods most appropriate for use in
karst terrains. These include methods that are basic to all hydrogeological studies, such as …

The epikarst (also known as the subcutaneous zone) comprises highly weathered carbonate
bedrock immediately beneath the surface or beneath the soil (when present) or exposed at …

Shallow subterranean habitats (SSHs) are areas of habitable space that are less than 10 m
in depth from the surface. These range from large areas such as shallow caves and lava …

The Encyclopedia of Caves and Karst Science contains 350 alphabetically arranged entries.
The topics include cave and karst geoscience, cave archaeology and human use of caves …

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

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

We report the presence of clear annual cycles in trace-element (Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca, Ba/Ca, and
U/Ca) and stable-isotope (δ18O and δ13C) composition in an annually banded stalagmite …
