The role of seasonality is indisputable in climate and ecosystem dynamics. Seasonal
temperature and precipitation variability are of vital importance for the availability of food …

Many spring deposits throughout the world are characterized by spectacular deposits of
calcium carbonate that are formed of various combinations of aragonite and calcite, and in …

Trace element to Ca ratios in speleothems have emerged as important proxies that reflect
local environmental conditions. However, interpretations of speleothem trace element …

Abstract The North Atlantic Oscillation is the dominant atmospheric pressure mode in the
North Atlantic region and affects winter temperature and precipitation in the Mediterranean …

Abstract The 4.2-kiloyear event has been described as a global megadrought that

In this study, we present a Holocene rainfall index based on three high‐resolution
speleothem records from the Western Mediterranean, a region under the influence of the …

Aragonite is one of the metastable polymorphs of calcium carbonate and is commonly found
at archaeological sites in the form of mollusk shells and speleothems. Other occurrences …

We present a magnesium (Mg) and strontium (Sr) record from an aragonitic speleothem
(Grotte de Piste, Morocco, 34‬° N; 04° W) providing a reconstruction of effective rainfall from …

Speleothems are usually considered as one of the most amenable palaeoclimate archives
for U-series dating. A number of studies in recent years, however, report cases of diagenetic …

Speleothem proxy data provide important information in continental palaeo-climate research
due to their precise chronology and wide geographic distribution. Despite a continuously …
