Abstract Urban Heat Island (UHI) research has acquired popularity in recent decades
because of increasing recognition of heat stress impacts on human health, environments …

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 …

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

Understanding the relationships between speleothem stable isotopes (δ13C δ18O) and in
situ cave forcing mechanisms is important to interpreting ancient stalagmite paleoclimate …

Speleothems have become a cornerstone of the approach to better understanding Earth's
climatic teleconnections due to their precise absolute chronologies, their continuous or …

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 …

In the absence of sunlight, caves harbor a great diversity of microbial colonies to extensive
biofilms with different sizes and colors visible to the naked eye. One of the most widespread …

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 …

Abstract Earth's Critical Zone (CZ), the near‐surface layer where rock is weathered and
landscapes co‐evolve with life, is profoundly influenced by the type of underlying bedrock …
