RT Journal Article T1 Implicaciones paleoclimáticas de la distribución geocronológica de espeleotemas en la Cueva del Cobre (Palencia) T1 Paleoclimatic implications of the growth frequency of spelêothems in Cueva del Cobre (Palencia) A1 Muñoz, M. B. A1 Martín Chivelet, Javier A1 Rossi, C. AB Twenty two Uranium-series datings carried on seven stalagmites collected in the cold, high mountain karstic system of Cueva del Cobre (Cantabrian Mountains, N Spain) allow to distinguish three phases of major growth frequency of speleothems in the cave for the last 7 50 ky. This difference in growth frequency is interpreted to be climatically induced: stalagmite growth was impeded during the coldest time intervals when the cave was probably covered by a mountain glacier and, on the contrary, their maximum growth took place during warmer humid episodes. This hypothesis is supported by the correlation of the speleothem growth frequencies with the oxygen isotopic stages of the late Quaternary PB Sociedad Geológica de España YR 2003 FD 2003 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/9002 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/9002 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 30 may 2026
