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…
