Journal Article
Ridley, H., Baldini, J., Prufer, K., Walczak, I., & Breitenbach, S. (2015). High resolution monitoring of Yok Balum Cave, Belize: an investigation of seasonal ventilation regimes and the atmospheric and drip-flow response to a local earthquake. Journal of cave and karst studies, 77(3), 183-199. https://doi.org/10.4311/2014es0117

The nature of cave ventilation is of interest to cavers, speleologists, and paleoclimatologists working with stalagmites. Because cave ventilation systematics may change over the growth span of a stalagmite, understanding what factors affect them is...

Was millennial scale climate change during the Last Glacial triggered by explosive volcanism? (2015)
Journal Article
Baldini, J., Brown, R., & McElwaine, J. (2015). Was millennial scale climate change during the Last Glacial triggered by explosive volcanism?. Scientific Reports, 5, Article 17442. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep17442

The mechanisms responsible for millennial scale climate change within glacial time intervals are equivocal. Here we show that all eight known radiometrically-dated Tambora-sized or larger NH eruptions over the interval 30 to 80 ka BP are associated w...

Volcanic ash fall events identified using principal component analysis of a high-resolution speleothem trace element dataset (2015)
Journal Article
Jamieson, R., Baldini, J., Frappier, A., & Müller, W. (2015). Volcanic ash fall events identified using principal component analysis of a high-resolution speleothem trace element dataset. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 426, 36-45. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2015.06.014

Large multivariate trace element datasets produced by LA-ICP-MS speleothem analysis can pose difficulties for analysis and interpretation. Processes acting on various timescales and magnitudes affect trace element concentrations, and deconvolving the...

Seasonality of westerly moisture transport in the East Asian Summer Monsoon and its implications for interpreting precipitation δ18O. Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 120(12), 5850-5862. https://doi.org/10.1002/2014jd022919

East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) rainfall impacts the world's most populous regions. Accurate EASM rainfall prediction necessitates robust paleoclimate reconstructions from proxy data and quantitative linkage to modern climatic conditions. Many preci...

Lead concentrations and isotope ratios in speleothems as proxies for atmospheric metal pollution since the industrial revolution. (2015)
Journal Article

Lead concentrations and isotope ratios in speleothems as proxies for atmospheric metal pollution since the industrial revolution. Chemical Geology, 401, 140-150. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemgeo.2015.02.035

Lead concentrations and isotope ratios from two speleothems from the Han-sur-Lesse cave in southern Belgium were measured in order to study the ability of speleothems to act as archives of atmospheric pollution. To address this aim we analyzed trace... Read More about Lead concentrations and isotope ratios in speleothems as proxies for atmospheric metal pollution since the industrial revolution..

Aerosol forcing of the position of the intertropical convergence zone since AD1550 (2015)
Journal Article

The position of the intertropical convergence zone is an important control on the distribution of low-latitude precipitation. Its position is largely controlled by hemisphere temperature contrasts1, 2. The release of aerosols by human activities may...
