Variations in speleothem oxygen-isotope values (δ18O) result from a complicated interplay
of environmental controls and processes in the ocean, atmosphere, soil zone, epikarst, and …

In this paper we review our current understanding of karst drip-water hydrology,
emphasising the extent of non-linear and non-stationary process dynamics that render …

This study provides the example of Golgotha Cave, in the south west of Western Australia,
where previous long-term hydrological, geochemical and climate monitoring resulted in a …

Speleothems are increasingly used as an archive of past climate, but some of the proxy
signals encoded in these deposits reflect hydrological characteristics of the karst aquifer …

Understanding of hydrological processes in caves is important to help us interpret
paleoclimate records from speleothems. In this study, we integrated hydrogeological and …

Water-rock interaction (WRI) and prior calcite precipitation (PCP) are often employed to
interpret the variation in the trace elements present in speleothems and are assumed to be …

The isotope signature of cave waters provides an excellent opportunity to better understand
the recharge in karst regions and the complexity of drainage systems in the vadose zone …

During each Heinrich stadial (HS), temperatures in southern Europe typically dropped
several degrees during several hundred to few thousand years. We have developed a one …

Stalagmite oxygen isotopes (δ18O) have been used to reconstruct terrestrial paleoclimates
during the late Pleistocene and Holocene. However, the interpretation of the δ18O is not …

Abstract Carlsbad Cavern and Lechuguilla Cave are large limestone caves located within
Carlsbad Caverns National Park, southeastern New Mexico, USA. Both caves feature …
