  • Dissertation Annewackerbarth 1
    INAUGURAL - DISSERTATION for the degree of Doctor of Natural Sciences of the Ruperto-Carola-University of Heidelberg, Germany presented by Dipl.-Phys. Anne Katrin Wackerbarth born in: Rotenburg a.d. Fulda, Germany Oral examination: 19.1.2012 Towards a better understanding of climate proxies in stalagmites - Modelling processes from surface to cave Referees: Prof. Dr. Augusto Mangini Prof. Dr. Werner Aeschbach-Hertig Dedicated to my parents. Abstract In recent years stalagmites revealed their high potential as archives for palaeo climate variability. However, the quantitative interpretation of the climate-related features - proxies - is still a challenging task. In this work two numerical models assessing the influence of climate parameters on two stalagmite proxies - the Mg/Ca ratio and the δ18 O value - were developed. The models describe quantitatively how the proxies evolve from the atmospheric signals to the incor- poration into stalagmite calcite. Both models were successfully applied to stalagmites from caves in western Germany. The models were used to establish two novel approaches of inverse modelling yield- ing simultaneously palaeo-temperatures and palaeo-precipitation from δ18 O and Mg/Ca values. Although both models are based on substantially different setups, their climate reconstructions show remarkable similarities applied on a Holocene stalagmite from west- ern Germany. In addition, for the first time a stalagmite model (the δ18 O model developed in this the- sis) was forced with the output data of a General Circulation Model, as a new concept to understand the climate impact on δ18 O values of speleothems. The advantage is that this method can be applied to caves worldwide and for any given point in time without requiring observational climate data.

  • Cave Development in Internally Impounded Karst Masses
    International Journal of Speleology 34 (1-2) 71-81 Bologna (Italy) January-July 2005 Available online at www.ijs.speleo.it International Journal of Speleology Offi cial Journal of Union Internationale de Spéléologie Partitions, Compartments and Portals: Cave Development in internally impounded karst masses R. Armstrong L. Osborne1 Re-published from: Speleogenesis and Evolution of Karst Aquifers 1 (4), www.speleogenesis.info, 12 pages (ISSN 1814-294X). Abstract: Osborne, R. A. L. 2005. Partitions, Compartments and Portals: Cave Development in internally impounded karst masses. International Journal of Speleology, 34 (1-2), 71-81. Bologna (Italy). ISSN 0392-6672. Dykes and other vertical bodies can act as aquicludes within bodies of karst rock. These partitions separate isolated bodies of soluble rock called compartments. Speleogenetically each compartment will behave as a small impounded-karst until the partition becomes breached. Breaches through partitions, portals, allow water, air and biota including humans to pass between sections of caves that were originally isolated. Keywords: impounded karst, speleogenesis in steeply dipping limestones, Australia. Received 4 June 2005; Revised 8 June 2005; Accepted 14 June 2005. INTRODUCTION It has been long recognised that bodies of karst rock may be impounded by surrounding insoluble rocks and/or confi ned by overlying aquicludes. On a smaller scale, planar bodies of insoluble rock, such as dykes, or geological structures such as faults, may act as aquicludes (partitions) within a mass of karst rock. Where swarms of dykes intrude a karst rock mass along sets of intersecting joints (or in the case of an impounded karst along parallel joints) each mass of dyke-surrounded karst rock effectively becomes a small impounded-karst (compartment) (Fig.

C/Felicià Fuster 7, 07006, Palma de Mallorca, Baleares. E-mail: [email protected] 2 IGME. C/Ríos Rosas nº 23, 28003, Madrid. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Resumen Entre los terrenos kársticos superficiales y subterráneos, las cuevas son, actualmente para determinados colectivos, el producto más interesante del karst y, que de forma creciente, ha atraído la curiosidad humana desde que los seres humanos habitan el Planeta. Prueba de ello son los restos de arte rupestre y yacimientos paleontológicos descritos en muchas cuevas o el creciente número de visitantes anuales que tienen. Sin embargo, en las últimas décadas los equipos de científicos y espeleólogos se han ocupado especialmente del karst en términos de cifras, con especial énfasis en grandes cavidades. Bien, atendiendo al tamaño de las mismas en su desarrollo horizontal o vertical, o de forma parcial, midiendo volúmenes de galerías y conductos, cámaras o espeleotemas, entre otros elementos. Existen exhaustivos rankings de los sistemas de cavidades de mayor longitud total de galerías exploradas, de las salas más grandes, de las cuevas más profundadas o de los espeleotemas más grandes en su tipo. Esto ha condicionando que, por un lado, exista un auge en la investigación de los sistemas endokársticos más grandes del mundo, y por otro, que paisajes superficiales kársticos espectaculares del Planeta hayan pasado a un segundo orden en cuanto a el interés científico o turístico.
