A record of glacial-interglacial cycles over the last one million years from Antro del Corchia speleothems
Antro del Corchia (Corchia Cave) is a large cave located in the Alpi Apuane karst of northern Tuscany, Italy. The cave receives most of its recharge from frontal systems crossing southwestern Europe and western Mediterranean, making the site sensitive to changes in ocean and atmospheric conditions i...
