Rainfall seasonality in the tropics has a substantial impact on both ecosystems and human
livelihoods. Yet, reconstructions of past rainfall variability have so far generally been unable …

Speleothem oxygen isotope records from the Caribbean, Central, and North America reveal
climatic controls that include orbital variation, deglacial forcing related to ocean circulation …

The oxygen isotope composition of speleothems is a widely used proxy for past climate
change. Robust use of this proxy depends on understanding the relationship between …

Many Holocene hydroclimate records show rainfall changes that vary with local orbital
insolation. However, some tropical regions display rainfall evolution that differs from gradual …

This study examines the oxygen isotopic composition (δ 18 O values) of drip water, rainfall,
and groundwater in the Río Secreto cave system, located in the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico …

A speleothem collected from Palco Cave (Puerto Rico) spans the 8.2 ka event, a time
interval associated with fluctuations of Atlantic Ocean circulation and possible drying in the …

The sensitivity of tropical Atlantic precipitation patterns to the mean position of the
Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) at different time scales is well‐known. However …

Cyclone Mekunu hit the southern Arabian Peninsula in late May 2018 and brought rainfall
amounts that accounted for up to 6 times the mean annual precipitation. Coming from the …

Karst vadose zone heterogeneity creates complex transmission and storage dynamics that
affect the timing and magnitude of aquifer recharge. Young, high‐matrix permeability …

Time series of cave drip water oxygen isotopes (δ18O) provide site‐specific assessments of
the contributions of climate and karst processes to stalagmite δ18O records employed for …
