“…stable isotopes, Regattieri et al, 2014). Considering that marine chronologies, beyond the limit of radiocarbon dating methods, are often based on astronomical assumptions, it is now also common to transfer independently dated speleothems chronologies to marine records (Bar-Matthews et al, 2000;Almogi-Labin et al, 2009;Drysdale et al, 2007Drysdale et al, , 2009Grant et al, 2012;Ziegler et al, 2010;Hodell et al, 2013;Marino et al, 2015;Jiménez-Amat and Zahn, 2015). This can be somewhat problematic, as the assumption of synchronicity between speleothem and marine proxy records is not necessarily straightforward (e.g.…”
