[Juliet Sefton]

Dear cave people

Just a friendly reminder of next Sunday's cave science forum. See the Zoom link below.


Dating Speleothems and Speleothem Growth

Prof Andy Baker, UNSW Sydney

Forum abstract:

Dating speleothems and understanding speleothem growth can provide insights into cave development and of past climates and environments.  This presentation will delve into the methods used to determine the age of speleothems, such as stalactites and stalagmites, shedding light on the processes that shape these formations over time.  By exploring the science behind speleothem dating, insights will be gained into how these geological features provide valuable information about past climates and environmental conditions. Understanding the growth rates of speleothems is explored, essential for interpreting cave formations accurately.  This talk aims to help equip cave guides and show cave managers with the latest knowledge needed to interpret the history preserved in speleothems, enhancing their ability to educate visitors about these fascinating features in Australasian caves.

 Andy Baker's presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.   The forum will be recorded and made available on the ACKMA website.
