TLDR
In this article, stable isotope studies in speleothems have shifted away from attempting to provide palaeo-temperature reconstructions to the attainable goal of providing precise estimates for the timing and duration of major O isotope-defined climatic events characterised by high signal to noise ratios (e.g. glacial/interglacial transitions, Dansgaard-Oeschger oscillations, the ‘8200-year’ event).About:

Karst Hydrogeology and Geomorphology
Derek C. Ford,Paul W. Williams +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the relationship between Karst and general geomorphology and Hydrogeology and discuss the development of Karst underground systems, and present a detailed analysis of these systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modification and preservation of environmental signals in speleothems
Ian J. Fairchild,Claire Smith,Andy Baker,L. Fuller,Christoph Spötl,Dave Mattey,Frank McDermott +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the use of multiple proxies and improving understanding of formation mechanisms offers a clear way forward, but the climatological meaning of many speleothem records cannot be interpreted unequivocally; this is particularly so for more subtle shifts and shorter time periods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of Holocene Asian monsoon rainfall from spatially separated cave records
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a reconstruction of Holocene rainfall for southwest China by comparing a new high-resolution stalagmite δ 18 O record with an existing record from the same moisture transport pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climatic and environmental controls on speleothem oxygen-isotope values
TL;DR: In this paper, a process-based summary of the multiple controls on speleothem oxygen-isotope values (d 18 O) in the atmosphere, soil, epikarst, and calcite, illustrated with case studies is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Karst water resources in a changing world: Review of hydrological modeling approaches
TL;DR: The impact of climate change on karst aquifers has been studied in this article, where the authors explore different conceptual models and how they can be translated into numerical models of varying complexity and therefore varying data requirements.

Age dating and the orbital theory of the ice ages: Development of a high-resolution 0 to 300,000-year chronostratigraphy
Douglas G. Martinson,Nicklas G Pisias,James D. Hays,John Imbrie,Theodore C. Moore,Nicholas J Shackleton +5 more
TL;DR: Using the concept of "orbital tuning", a continuous, high-resolution deep-sea chronostratigraphy has been developed spanning the last 300,000 yr as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
A High-Resolution Absolute-Dated Late Pleistocene Monsoon Record from Hulu Cave, China
Yongjin Wang,Yongjin Wang,Hai Cheng,Richard Lawrence Edwards,Zhisheng An,Jiangying Wu,Chuan-Chou Shen,Jeffrey A. Dorale +7 more
TL;DR: The record links North Atlantic climate with the meridional transport of heat and moisture from the warmest part of the ocean where the summer East Asian Monsoon originates and generally agrees with the timing of temperature changes from the Greenland Ice Sheet Project Two (GISP2).
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen isotope fractionation in divalent metal carbonates
TL;DR: In this article, the fractionation factors for the distribution of 18O between alkaline-earth carbonates and water have been measured over the temperature range 0 −500°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen and hydrogen isotopes in the hydrologic cycle
TL;DR: In this article, the isotope fractionations that accompany the evaporation from the ocean and other surface waters and the reverse process of rain formation account for the most notable changes.
Book
Karst Geomorphology and Hydrology
Derek C. Ford,Paul W. Williams +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of climate, climatic change and other environmental factors on karst development is discussed. And the authors present a detailed analysis of the chemical and kinetic behavior of the kars.
