Spatio-temporal dynamics of speleothem growth and glaciation in the British Isles by S. Panitz, S. Panitz, M. Rogerson, J. Longman, N. Scroxton, T. J. Lawson, T. C. Atkinson, V. Ersek, J. Baldini, L. Baldini, S. Umbo, M. A. Lone, G. M. Henderson, S. F. M. Breitenbach

“…Whilst undersampling is currently the main limitation for speleothem-based ice and permafrost reconstruction even in relatively well-sampled parts of the British Isles, we show that speleothem dates obtained using modern mass spectrometry techniques reveal a higher spatio-temporal resolution of glacial–interglacial cycles and glacial extent than previously possible. Further study of leads and lags in speleothem growth compared to surface deposition may provide new insights into landscape-scale dynamics during ice sheet growth and retreat.…”

“…In the early stage, the fluid is immiscible, which leads to the precipitation of sulfides. Pyrite shows a δ34S of approximately 0 (-1.8 to +3.4‰), and chalcopyrite also shows a similar δ34S of approximately 0 (+1.5 to +2.4‰), which indicates that the sulfur in the ore-forming fluid is mainly derived from deep-seated magma. …”
