Cave monitoring in the Andes - determining speleothem growth dynamics
High elevation Peruvian cave monitoring project
Caves are "speleothem factories"! Stalagmites from Huagapo and Pacupahuain cave have produced high-resolution paleoclimate records.
We have been monitoring these caves to learn how the monsoon climate signal is transferred to the rock record.

Cave monitoring in eastern Tennessee - determining the seasonality of speleothem laminae
Raccoon Mountain cave monitoring project
Raccoon Mountain cave has speleothems with laminae. These are annual packets of mineral deposition.
We have begun monitoring in the cave to determine the seasonality of lamnae formation.
