    Microstratigraphy of fluid inclusions in Pleisthocene speleothems from Cueva del Tortero (Valencia) and its application in paleoclimatology
    (2019) López Elorza, Maialen; Martín Chivelet, Javier; Muñoz García, Mª Belén
    The cave drip-water is trapped as fluid inclusions during the active growing of speleothems. This water comes from the epikarts and represents the meteoric water that seeps from the ground to the cave. Then, speleothems are the unique geologic formations in continental environments that host fossil meteoric water. The geochemical measurements of this water provide relevant information about the past regional climate conditions. The main objectives of this PhD thesis are focused, for the first time and especifically, on the study of speleothem fluid inclusions and their application as a climate proxy. For that purpose, in this study mainly fluid inclusions of three stalagmites (Tortero-2, Tortero-4 and Tortero-10) from Cueva del Tortero were analysed. The geographic setting of the cave in Tous (Valencia), eastern Spain, is suitable to analyse the influence of high and low pressure systems that reached the Iberian Peninsula in the past...
