“…Increased PCP in winter implies that δ 13 C DIC (and so tufa calcite δ 13 C) should increase under cooler conditions (Matsuoka et al, 2001). Our Eemian δ 13 C data can be interpreted in this way: it helps explain some of the statistical covariation between δ 18 O and δ 13 C (see also Matsuoka et al, 2001) and is coherent with the independent seasonal interpretation of the petrographic data.…”

“…We are more persuaded that the sub-annual to annual sampling resolution achieved in this study is largely a record of in-stream changing water temperature, with increasing δ 18 O in tufa calcite caused by decreasing water temperature (Matsuoka et al, 2001;Andrews, 2006;O'Brien et al, 2006;Hori et al, 2009) and vice versa. The lowest δ 18 O values, on this basis the warmest water temperatures, are thus associated with the "spring-summer" laminae of Microfacies I (Fig.…”

“…On the sub-annual time-scales of interest here, the relative effects of seasonal soil-air contribution (Hori et al 2008), CO 2 degassing and upstream/in-aquifer calcite precipitation (Ihlenfeld et al, 2003) are probably the most important contributors to the variability in δ 13 C. In a modern Japanese tufa system Matsuoka et al (2001) showed strong δ 13 C covariation between calcite and dissolved inorganic carbon δ 13 C (δ 13 C DIC ). They demonstrated that δ 13 C DIC is dependent on degassing/calcite precipitation (prior calcite precipitation -PCP) processes in the aquifer.…”

“…Ihlenfeld et al, 2003;Kano et al 2007). Early papers concentrated on environmentally well-characterised recent and sub-recent deposits (Matsuoka et al 2001;Kano et al, 2003) that established the potential for recovery of seasonal palaeoclimatic records. In the early 2000s particular scrutiny was also given to the timing and micromorphology of the seasonal laminae, with Kano et al (2003) proposing that the principal control on lamination is the calcite precipitation rate (Kwai et al, 2009), albeit modulated by availability of seasonal rainfall, particularly in the sub tropics (Liu et al, 2010).…”

Recent and sub-recent laminated tufa stromatolites can contain high resolution δ 18 O records of in stream temperature change. Fossil tufa stromatolites are therefore key targets for reconstructing terrestrial palaeoclimatic, but so far only a few examples have been published.In this research we studied a 2.5 cm-radius tufa stromatolite from the Eemian of the Somme Basin, Northern France. We show; (1) that high resolution sampling of fossil laminated tufas is highly reproducible. We demonstrate; (2) that within the limitations of the δ 18 O method, NW European Eemian seasonality was essentially similar to the present day. Perhaps most important we show; (3) that precise observations from thin section that match the position of 1 Present address: GéoArchÉon, 30 rue de la Victoire, 55210 Viéville-sous-les-Côtes, France A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT

“…Since such environmental variables drive algal growth rates (Pentecost, 1990), the close resemblance of the algal laminations in the Egyptian and Israeli tufas may be a result of similar growth conditions. It may be possible in future work to extract seasonal paleoclimate records from these laminated tufas (e.g., Arp et al, 2001;Matsuoka et al, 2001;Kano et al, 2003).…”

A reconstruction of Quaternary pluvial environments and human occupations using stratigraphy and geochronology of fossil‐spring tufas, Kharga Oasis, Egypt

We carried out a geologic survey and a preliminary archaeological survey of four fossil‐spring tufa localities in Kharga Oasis, Egypt, to constrain the timing of pluvial episodes in the Western Desert, and to document prehistoric occupation contemporaneous with times of increased rainfall. Uranium‐series dating of the tufas confirms that at least five episodes of tufa deposition are represented in Kharga, although not every event is represented at each locality. Across the region studied, tufas were most frequently deposited as part of a fluvial barrage system, characterized by terraced, vegetated pools impounded by arcuate tufa dams and separated by small waterfalls. Available water resources during pluvial phases would have included not only spring‐fed streams but also small freshwater lakes. While Earlier Stone Age (ESA) and Middle Stone Age (MSA) lithic artifacts may be found either as surficial lags on tufas, or, less commonly, encased within tufas, Epipalaeolithic and Neolithic artifacts are generally found in or on silts within surface deflation depressions in the tufas, principally at Wadi Midauwara. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The Huanglong travertine landscape, which is located on the eastern edge of the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau, is a World Natural Heritage Site with important tourism, aesthetic and scientific research value. However, no convincing travertine sedimentary age data have been reported for this area, and these late Cenozoic terrestrial carbonates have not been effectively included in studies of the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau geological environment. In this study, U‐series dating of the travertines was carried out using a multi‐collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer to determine a time series for travertine deposition in the Dawan Valley (only a mountain away from Huanglong). The analyses of the processes operating during travertine deposition as the trench system evolved are performed based on a comprehensive study of the geological setting, structure and glacial landforms. The results suggest that travertine deposition in the Dawan Valley started at ca 13 ka and had begun to wane by the early Holocene (ca 7 ka). At the same time, the Huanglong Valley travertines began to be deposited on a large scale in response to a hydrological transition event. This event might reflect tectonic activity in particular, or possibly earthquakes or glacial retreat caused by climate warming. The findings reported here provide age data for late Cenozoic geological and environmental events such as climate variations and continental activity on the eastern margin of the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau. It also presents new insights for research on glaciation, tectonic activity and seismicity; however, depositional breaks and forcing factors need to be explored further.
