Speleothems are now regarded as valuable archives of climatic conditions on the
continents, offering a number of advantages relative to other continental climate proxy …

Speleothems are now established as important palaeoenvironmental archives and contain a
number of suitable proxies, although trace elements have been much less widely used than …

To date, the earliest modern human fossils found outside of Africa are dated to around
90,000 to 120,000 years ago at the Levantine sites of Skhul and Qafzeh. A maxilla and …

The oxygen and carbon stable isotope compositions of cave speleothems provide a
powerful method for understanding continental climate change. Here, we examine the …

The climate of the Eastern Mediterranean region of the last 60 ky was determined by a high
resolution study of the oxygen and carbon isotopic composition (1500 measurement pairs) …

Mid-Holocene (7000—4000 yr BP) paleoclimate conditions were reconstructed for the
eastern Mediterranean region through a high-resolution (3—20 yr) oxygen and carbon …

An increasing number of scientists recognize the value of speleothems1 as often extremely
well-preserved archives of information about past climate, vegetation, hydrology, sea level …

This paper explores the connection between the timing of sapropel events in the Eastern
Mediterranean Sea and the time of low δ18O events in speleothems of the Soreq cave …

There is a paucity of experimental data on calcite precipitation from waters at low ionic
strength and low ratios of Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca, using controlled and constant precipitation …

Uranium–thorium dating of speleothem calcite has proved to be exceptionally useful in
anchoring late Quaternary paleoenvironmental records, and is arguably the most robust …
