Detecting and quantifying palaeoseasonality in stalagmites using geochemical and modelling approaches
Stalagmites are an extraordinarily powerful resource for the reconstruction of climatological
palaeoseasonality. Here, we provide a review of different types of seasonality preserved by …

Conservation of prehistoric caves and stability of their inner climate: Lessons from Chauvet and other French caves
In the last 150 years, some prehistoric painted caves suffered irreversible degradations due
to misperception of conservation issues and subsequent mismanagement. These sites …
