Constraints for precise and accurate fluid inclusion stable isotope analysis using water-vapour saturated CRDS techniques

Therese Weissbach, Tobias Kluge, Stéphane Affolter +11

Hydrogen (2H) and oxygen (18O) isotopes of water extracted from speleothem fluid inclusions are important proxies used for paleoclimate reconstruction. In our study we use a…

The impact of outgassing of CO2 and prior calcium precipitation to the isotope composition of calcite precipitated on stalagmites. Implications for reconstructing climate information from proxies

Wolfgang Dreybrodt, Jens Fohlmeister

Degassing of CO2 and precipitation of calcite to the surface of stalagmites can strongly impact isotope signals imprinted into the calcite of these speleothems. Here, we show that…

Are oxygen isotope fractionation factors between calcite and water derived from speleothems systematically biased due to prior calcite precipitation (PCP)?

Michael Deininger, Maximilian Hansen, Jens Fohlmeister +3

The equilibrium oxygen isotope fractionation factor between calcite and water (18αcalcite/H2O) is an important quantity in stable isotope geochemistry and allows in principle to in…

Detecting and quantifying palaeoseasonality in stalagmites using geochemical and modelling approaches

James U. L. Baldini, Franziska A. Lechleitner, Sebastian F. M. Breitenbach +8

Stalagmites are an extraordinarily powerful resource for the reconstruction of climatological palaeoseasonality. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of different types of seaso…

Climate and structure of the 8.2 ka event reconstructed from three speleothems from Germany

S. Waltgenbach, D. Scholz, C. Spötl +4

The most pronounced climate anomaly of the Holocene was the 8.2 ka cooling event. We present new 230Th/U-ages as well as high-resolution stable isotope and trace element data from…

Main Controls on the Stable Carbon Isotope Composition of Speleothems

Jens Fohlmeister, Ny Riavo G. Voarintsoa, Franziska A. Lechleitner +4

The climatic controls on the stable carbon isotopic composition (d13C) of speleothem carbonate are less often discussed in the scientific literature in contrast to the frequently u…
