CL1.13 The speleothem archive: understanding processes and interpreting Quaternary climate change |
Convener: Marc Luetscher | Co-Conveners: Michael Deininger , Tobias Kluge , Jens Fohlmeister |
The session appreciates all studies from modeling (including isotope-enabled climate models), proxy-development and analysis of speleothems that advance our capacity to provide robust palaeo-environmental reconstructions. Further, this session hearty welcomes the latest studies of speleothem records that shed light into palaeoclimate and environmental changes across all scales. A special focus of this year’s session is dedicated to the systematics and interpretation of carbon isotopes and their significance as climatic or environmental proxies. Therefore, this session encourages in particular studies which intend to unravel the carbon isotope systematics in speleothems.
