  3. 22. STABLE CARBON ISOTOPES IN SPELEOTHEMS FROM TEMPERATE AREAS

    University essay from Institutionen för naturgeografi och kvartärgeologi (INK)

    Author : Carl Österlin; [2010]
    Keywords : Speleothem; Stalagmites; Stable Carbon Isotopes; Temperate Areas; Tree Line Changes; Holocene;

    Abstract : Speleothems are considered a reliable proxy for paleoclimatic reconstructions and analysis of stable carbon isotopes in speleothems is used for paleoclimatic reconstructions. However, in temperate areas that lacks C4 vegetation there are uncertainties in how to interpret changes in the δ13C signal. READ MORE
