[Aqualist] Lake cores and speleothems

[Bird, Michael]

Dear Alex,

Just writing up a paper that compares n-alkane H isotopes and pollen records from a lake in the NT with the Denniston speleothem records from WA - short answer is they compare very well…

rgds,
michael

Hi Alex,

off the top of my head, I can't think of any that explicitly combine data
from speleothems and lakes. I'm sure there are though. The attached papers
by Broxton Bird on Laguna Pumacocha (Peru) make a convincing case for the
similarity between d18O records from lakes, speleothems and ice cores in
the region.

As for explicit combination of data from lakes vs something else, John
Anderson's work on Kassjon comparing diatoms and tree ring widths might be
of interest:

Hope this helps a bit

Jon

Hi all,

I'm hoping for some light crowd-sourcing--if you're aware of a study
comparing climate proxies in lake cores to those in nearby speleothems,
please point me in its direction!

Thanks and happy holidays,
Alex
