MIS5a. Period of speleothem deposition occurred from 70,000 90,000 yr ago. Oxygen
(δ18O) and hydrogen (δD) isotope ratios of speleothem and fluid inclusions enable the
reconstruction of climatic variability in this region of southern Spain. Fluid inclusions trapped
in speleothems represent samples of drip water from which the speleothems grew. The
isotopic compositions of cave dripwaters approximate average annual δ18O and δD of …
