On the limits of climate reconstruction from water stable isotopes in polar ice cores

International audience Ice core water stable isotopes are a favored proxy to reconstruct past climatic variations. Yet, their interpretation requires calibration from other proxy records and is affected by various processes which alter the signal after it has been imprinted.
