Overview

Multiproxy speleothem analysis reveals shifts between warm interglacials and cold glacial intervals, highlighting broad European paleoclimate patterns from 330 to 200 thousand years ago.

Key Points

  • Reconstruct paleoclimatic and environmental conditions in the Tatra Mountains between approximately 330 and 200 ka across Marine Isotope Stages 9 through 7.
  • Conducted uranium-series dating and age–depth modeling on the SC-3 stalagmite from Szczelina Chochołowska Cave.
  • Combined stable isotope analyses, petrographic evaluations, and trace element measurements to identify paleoclimatic fluctuations.
  • Identified warm and wet climatic conditions favorable for speleothem growth during interglacial substages MIS 9e and MIS 9c.
  • Detected growth cessations caused by cold glacial conditions during MIS 8, the MIS 9/8 transition, reduced precipitation in MIS 9a, and extreme hydrological events.
