Palaeoclimatic interpretation of high-resolution oxygen isotope profiles derived from annually laminated speleothems from Southern Oman
High-resolution stable isotope profiles of three contemporaneously deposited stalagmites from a shallow cave in Southern Oman provide an annually resolved record of Indian Ocean monsoon rainfall variability for the past 780 years. Uranium-series age dating and counts of annual growth bands enable an excellent age calibration. Although modern speleothems do not grow in perfect isotopic equilibri...
متن کاملStable isotope study of cave percolation waters in subtropical Brazil: Implications for paleoclimate inferences from speleothems
We analyze the interannual monthly variability of oxygen isotope ratios in data from IAEA stations along the Atlantic coast of South America between 238 and 348 S to evaluate the influence of parameters such as temperature, rainfall amount and moisture source contribution on meteoric water recharging two karst systems in subtropical Brazil. In addition, a 2 year monitoring program performed on ...
متن کاملA Paleolatitude Calculator for Paleoclimate Studies
Realistic appraisal of paleoclimatic information obtained from a particular location requires accurate knowledge of its paleolatitude defined relative to the Earth's spin-axis. This is crucial to, among others, correctly assess the amount of solar energy received at a location at the moment of sediment deposition. The paleolatitude of an arbitrary location can in principle be reconstructed from...
متن کاملPetrology and geochemistry of annually laminated stalagmites from an Alpine cave (Obir, Austria): seasonal cave physiology
Calcite stalagmites from Obir, an Alpine (1100 m altitude), perennially wet cave, were studied using optical and electron backscatter diffraction petrology, bulk ICP-MS analysis, and microanalysis by ion microprobe and micro-X-ray fluorescence using synchrotron radiation. Drip water penetrates 70 m through Triassic limestones (with some Pb-Zn mineralization) to the chamber Säulenhalle where the...
متن کاملHow well do sediment indicators record past climate? An evaluation using annually laminated sediments
The reliability of paleoclimatic inferences from lake-sediment records rests on the understanding of how various sediment indicators respond to environmental changes. Despite the recent proliferation of paleoclimatic records, only a limited number of studies have rigorously evaluated potential indicators by comparing lake-sediment records with instrumental weather data. We analyzed annually lam...
