Journal ArticleDOI

Multidecadal rainfall variability in South Pacific Convergence Zone as revealed by stalagmite geochemistry

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an absolutely dated, subannually resolved, 446 yr stable oxygen isotope (δ 18 O) cave record of rainfall variability in Vanuatu (southern Pacifi c Ocean), a location that has a climate heavily inflenced by the South Pacifi C Convergence Zone (SPCZ).
Journal ArticleDOI

Determination of initial Sr isotopic compositions of dolostones from the Burlington-Keokuk Formation (Mississippian); constraints from cathodoluminescence, glauconite paragenesis and analytical methods

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated techniques for the determination of the Sr isotopic compositions of the dolomite generations through the analysis of nearly pure whole-rock samples ( 95% soluble) and mineral separates, each composed predominantly of one cathodoluminescent type of dolombite.
Journal ArticleDOI

Precise timing and rate of massive late Quaternary soil denudation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used changes in Sr isotope ratios through a well-dated stratigraphic sequence of fossil plants and animals in Hall's Cave, Kerr County, Texas, as a proxy for temporal changes in soil thickness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes in sources and storage in a karst aquifer during a transition from drought to wet conditions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the evolution of groundwater compositions (major ions and Sr isotopes) during the transition from extreme drought to wet conditions, and used inverse geochemical modeling to constrain controls on groundwater compositions during this evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relationship between modern rainfall variability, cave dripwater, and stalagmite geochemistry in Guam, USA

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compute a transfer function between rainfall amount and oxygen isotopic composition (δ18O) of a decrease (increase) of 094 ± 03 m/year for every 1 ǫ increase (decrease) in rainfall, based on data extracted from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Global Networks of Isotopes in Precipitation (GNIP) database and from data generated in this study.
