A new paper published in Geochimica et Cosmochima Acta provides insights into the role of cave ventilation on isotope properties of stalagmites.

This year´s German OSL and ESR meeting was held in Judenstein near Innsbruck and was organised by Helena Rodnight.

Susanne Brandstätter joined the group as a new PhD student. She will study the expression of Dansgaard-Oeschger climate cycles on speleothem proxies.

During the DEUQUA meeting in Greifswald (Germany) Ronny Boch was awarded the Woldstedt medal for his accomplishments in speleothem research.

A 150 m-deep, fully cored scientific drilling was successfully completed in Baumkirchen. This core provides a rare opportunity to study the impact of climate change prior to the last ice age on the Alpine environment.

59 scientists working on caves and speleothems convened for the 3^rd DAPHNE workshop in Innsbruck-Kranebitten.
