The stable isotope records of four stalagmites dated by 19 TIMS uranium series ages are combined to produce master chronologies for δ 18O and δ 13C. The δ 18O records display good overall coherence, but considerable variation in detail. Variability in the δ 13C records is greater, but general trends can still be dis cerned. This implies that too fine an interpretation of the structure of individual isotopic records can be unreliable. Speleothem δ 18O values are demonstrated to show a positive… CONTINUE READING
