| Summary: | speleothems are scattered over most continen-tal areas and provide exceptional chronology. They will allow investigation of spatially vari-able changes as climate fronts move across continental regions, and enable direct compar-ison of climate in distant regions, as recently demonstrated in a study of rainfall in the south-ern and northern Tropics (9). For paleoclimate, the past two decades have been the age of the ice core. The next two may be the age of the speleothem. |
