Abstract
Abstract. Stable isotope
records from speleothems provide information on past climate changes, most
particularly information that can be used to reconstruct past changes in
precipitation and atmospheric circulation. These records are increasingly
being used to provide “out-of-sample” evaluations of isotope-enabled
climate models. SISAL (Speleothem Isotope Synthesis and Analysis) is an
international working group of the Past Global Changes (PAGES) project. The
working group aims to provide a comprehensive compilation of speleothem
isotope records for climate reconstruction and model evaluation. The SISAL
database contains data for individual speleothems, grouped by cave system.
Stable isotopes of oxygen and carbon (δ18O, δ13C)
measurements are referenced by distance from the top or bottom of the speleothem. Additional
tables provide information on dating, including information on the dates used
to construct the original age model and sufficient information to assess the
quality of each data set and to erect a standardized chronology across
different speleothems. The metadata table provides location information,
information on the full range of measurements carried out on each speleothem
and information on the cave system that is relevant to the interpretation of
the records, as well as citations for both publications and archived data.
The compiled data are available at https://doi.org/10.17864/1947.147.
