Speleothems (mineral deposits that formed in caves) are currently
giving us some of the most exciting insights into environments and
climates during the Pleistocene ice ages and the subsequent Holocene
rise of civilizations. The book applies system science to Quaternary
environments in a new and rigorous way and gives holistic explanations
the relations between the properties of speleothems and the climatic
and cave setting in which they are found. It is designed as the
ideal companion to someone embarking on speleothem research and, since
the underlying science is very broad, it will also be invaluable to a
wide variety of others. Students and professional scientists
interested in carbonate rocks, karst hydrogeology, climatology,
aqueous geochemistry, carbonate geochemistry and the calibration of
climatic proxies will find up-to-date reviews of these topics here.
The book will also be valuable to Quaternary scientists who, up to
now, have lacked a thorough overview of these important archives.
