Seasonal dripwater Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca variations driven by cave ventilation: Implications for and modeling of speleothem paleoclimate records
A 4-year study in a central Texas cave quantifies multiple mechanisms that control dripwater
composition and how these mechanisms vary at different drip sites. We monitored cave-air …
