I'm also researching the relationship between climate and cave systems. Namely, I am exploring oxygen isotopes and other geochemical quantities in surface precipitation and dripwater. For this project, I traveled to 5-7 caves/month over a span of 5.5 years to collect rainwater, dripwater, and calcite on glass plates placed on top of speleothems. This work will lead to process-based paleoclimate interpretations from speleothems.
