What has SISAL group been up to? Here is a summary of our last workshop. This kickstarted a new wave of data collection to provide the community with an updated database of speleothem isotopes AND trace elements! Stay tuned for its release this winter! tinyurl.com/2nj74p76

This is now open access. doi.org/10.1016/j.quas…

📢The deadline for #INQUARoma2023 abstracts is 28 November! Consider submitting an abstract to one of the PAGES groups 💪: pastglobalchanges.org/calendar/128891 🏞️DiverseK 🔥@paleofireWG 🌊PALSEA ⛰️SISAL group 🧗Varve Working Group 🌋VICS Working Group 🤓PAGES ECN (PAGES Early-Career Network) ❄️DEEPICE Project

Any other non-climatic evidence from speleothems? I've seen earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, fires in caves, mining/pollution, dating archaeological finds in the cave, ancient DNA/pollen from stals (one for SISAL group peeps)

We are co-organizing the #speleothem session again at #EGU23! Work on all aspects of cave and karst formations as archives of past environmental and climatic changes is highly welcome! Abstract deadline: Jan 10th, Dec 1st for travel support. meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU23/session/…

The SISAL working group has been compiling a new version of our database (v3). First numbers: Total # records: 902 (673 in SISALv2) C isotopes: 619 (430 in SISALv2) Trace elements+Sr-isotopes: 107 (NEW!) Stay tuned for the release and paper this spring! Past Global Changes #PMIP

New paper using the SISAL DB: Vanessa Skiba Vanessa Skiba and Jens Fohlmeister used the SISALv2 database to study the effect of cave internal processes on stable isotope compositions and growth rates! Read the results in GCA: authors.elsevier.com/a/1gqqV3p4ZUTMD

Please join us at Goldschmidt this year!

📢The #EGU24 SISAL group "Speleodinner" will be after the SISAL session on 17 April at 19:00 at the Restaurant Wieden-Bräu. If you want to join please RSVP via email by 12 April latest. More info👉 pastglobalchanges.org/news/137781

🥳We are very happy to announce that SISAL will go into a third phase thanks to support from Past Global Changes! We look forward to new collaborations on climate interpretations, proxy-system modelling,and spatial statistics! Get in touch if you are interested! 🥳

📢Applications to join the PAGES SSC are open for the term starting in Jan 2026! Consider joining a team of exceptional scientists & researchers who oversee all of PAGES' activities. Deadline to apply: 11 March 2025. ℹ️pastglobalchanges.org/be-involved/ss…

Abstract submission will close TONIGHT. Final chance to get your abstracts in! We are working hard to organise a fantastic conference. Excited to see you in Cape Town in March 2025! 👩‍🔬👩‍💼🥳

There's still time to submit an abstract to one of the 31 sessions at the PAGES OSM in Shangai, China next year. Deadline: 1 December! pages2025.org.cn #OSM25 #OSM2025 #PAGES25 @ACME_PAGES Mardi Pages DiverseK PALSEA HumanTraces SISAL group

🥳Huge congratulations also from SISAL group to our collaborator and outstanding geochemist Prof. Heather Stoll, who receives the 2025 EGU Climate Division Hans Oeschger Medal!🏅 Such a very deserved recognition of her work and leadership!
