Oxygen isotope analyses of skeletal remains (18 O/16 O, δ 18 O) are a powerful tool for
exploring major themes in bioarchaeology (the study of biological archaeological remains) …

There is an increasing need for paleoclimate records from continental settings to better
understand the climatic changes during critical periods such as the Pliocene and Early …

Abstract Study region Italy. Study focus The oxygen isotope composition from 266
pluviometers was used to study the spatial variability of δ 18 O and its relationship with …

It is generally observed that precipitation is gradually depleted in 18O and 2H isotopes as
elevation increases ('altitude'effect) or when moving inland from seacoasts …

Isotope hydrograph separation (IHS) is a valuable tool to study runoff generation processes.
To perform an IHS, samples of baseflow (pre-event water) and streamflow are taken at the …

In order to use speleothems in the reconstruction of past climate and environmental changes
it is necessary to understand the environmental and hydrological processes that determine …

Studies on the last interglacial (LIG) can provide information on how our environment
behaved in a period of slightly higher global temperatures at about 125±4 ka, even if it is not …

Karst corrosion of carbonate rocks by water with dissolved gases proceeds in most cases
along two major scenarios:(i) meteoric water absorbs CO 2 from soil and atmosphere, or (ii) …

Stable oxygen isotope composition of atmospheric precipitation (δ 18 O p) was scrutinized
from 39 stations distributed over Switzerland and its border zone. Monthly amount-weighted …

Precipitation and catchment characteristics of mountainous headwaters can vary largely
within short distances. It remains unclear how these two factors determine the contribution of …
