Research Abstract |
We have investigated for reconstructing paleoclimatic change through the internal brown pinstripes of speleothem, and obtained useful basic information as follows. (1) The cause materials for brown stripes are humus mainly consisting of humin and fluvic acid with colored minerals such as magnetite, augite and they are derived from brownish suspension of river water flowing in the cave. (2) The brown stripes will be inserted when the stalagmite is submerged in the cave river in case of flood. (3) The speleothem growth has a seasonal variation according to degree of oversaturation for speleothem calcite and flow rate of drip water.
