Statistical U-Th Dating Results of speleothem from South Europe and the orbital-scale implication
A stalagmite-inferred paleo-hydroclimate record during 79-89 thousand years ago from Monaco
The interglacial period, known as Marine Isotope Stage 11 (MIS 11, 428-397 thousand years ago), is often consideredas a potential analogue for future climate projection because of the similar patterns of insolation variability.However, studies on mechanisms of the onset of MIS 11 (called Termination V, T-V) in response to insolationincrease is...
The circum-Mediterranean region is the cradle of ancient civilizations that had their roots in the Holocene. Climate change has been considered a key element that contributed to their rise or fall. The Roman Warm Period (RWP), 200 B.C. to 400 A.D., was the warmest period in Europe during the last two thousand years. Hydroclimatic change at the...
The Younger Dryas (YD), a 1200-year-long cooling event interrupting the warm Bølling-Allerød period, started from 12,870 ± 30 yr BP (2σ, before 1950 C.E.). Here we present decadal-resolved stalagmite BA18-2 multi-proxy records from Bàsura cave, northern Italy. The StalAge age-depth model with 8 U-Th dates with 2-sigma errors of ± 26-193 yrs...

Stalagmite-inferred abrupt climate change in the north central Mediterranean region since 6500 years ago
Afin de préciser le cadre chronologique de la grotte du Lazaret et celle du Vallonnet, différentes méthodes de datation radiométriques (U-Th, U-Pb) et/ou paléodosimétrique (ESR) ont été appliquées sur les matériaux adéquats présents dans les niveaux pléistocènes de ces deux grottes. Les techniques d'analyse les plus modernes ont été utilisées....

A stalagmite-inferred climate record in the north central Mediterranean region since 6,500 years ago
The extreme southeast of France contains Lower Palaeolithic sites and is a pivotal region for enhancing our understanding of the behaviour and lifestyle of the oldest hominins in Western Europe. Several dating programs have been carried out on the three main prehistoric sites in the Alpes-Maritimes region. Vallonnet Cave, the oldest site, at...
A stalagmite-inferred climate record in the north central Mediterranean region since 6,500 years ago
L'extrême sud-est de la France renferme d'importants sites du Paléolithique inférieur. Ils permettent de mieux appréhender le comportement et le mode de vie des plus anciens hominines d'Europe occidentale. Différents programmes de datations ont été réalisés sur les trois principaux sites préhistoriques des Alpes-Maritimes. La grotte du...

The Toirano karst system is located in the Ligurian Alps, in the dolostones of Middle Triassic age, around 4.5 km inland from the coast (Borghetto Santo Spirito). It comprises different caves, among which the most important are, from the higher altitudes to the Varatella brook below, Colombo Cave (247 m asl), Upper Santa Lucia (215 m asl),...
Vallonnet Cave: an early presence of hominins in Southern Europe
During the well-known "Little Ice Age" (LIA, ca. 1450–1850 C.E.), Europe experienced the coldest winters over the last ten thousand years. This interval was suggested to have been caused by major volcanic eruptions and periods of low solar activity. However, the detailed climate pattern in Europe remains unclear. By conducting high-precision...
