Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) U–Pb
geochronology of carbonate minerals, calcite in particular, is rapidly gaining popularity as an …

Annually laminated stalagmites deposited over the last 30–160 years are analysed to
determine their growth rate. Three natural and artificial cave sites in England, France, and …

High resolution secondary ionization mass spectrometry (SIMS) analysis along the growth
axis of a Holocene speleothem from northern Scotland reveals high frequency oscillations …

Precipitation rates of CaCO3 from supersaturated solutions in the H2O CO2 CaCO3
system are controlled by three rate-determining processes: the kinetics of precipitation at the …

Six drip waters, which were actively depositing stalagmites in Lower Cave, Bristol, were
analysed both for discharge and luminescence properties. Drip discharges were determined …

A detailed chronology for four stalagmites from three central Texas caves separated by as
much as 130 km provides a 71 000-yr record of temporal changes in hydrology and climate …

Large volcanic eruptions may have major impacts on ecosystems through their physical,
chemical and climatic affects. These impacts are stochastic and because the largest, most …

The model of calcite precipitation kinetics of D. Buhmann and W. Dreybrodt, based on the
rate laws of LN Plummer et al., is used to predict cave flowstone growth rates. These …

The incorporation of water isotopologues into the hydrology of general circulation models
(GCMs) facilitates the comparison between modeled and measured proxy data in …

The intensity and spectral characteristics of speleothem luminescence are investigated for
signs of any potential palaeoenvironmental signals. Luminescence in speleothems has …
