We have applied a new technique to analyze the oxygen (δ¹⁸O) and hydrogen (δD) isotope ratios in speleothem fluid inclusions to reconstruct the temperature and rainfall history of southern Indonesia during the Younger Dryas (YD) event and the Holocene. The 12,640-year speleothem record, anchored by...
