RT Journal Article T1 Caracterización química del agua de goteo en la cueva Kaite y monitorización de las variaciones estacionales T1 Chemical characterization of drip water in the Kaite cave and monitoring of seasonal variations A1 Turrero, J. A1 Garralón, A. A1 Martín Chivelet, Javier A1 Gómez, P. A1 Sánchez, Lázaro AB Characterization of drip waters in karstic caves is a key task for interpreting speleothems in terms of paleodimate record. Particularly, variations in stalagmite composition, growth rate and microstratigraphy, often used as indicators of climate changes, strongly depend on changes in cave drip waters. For this reason, an "in situ" monitoring of the physicochemical properties and composition of those waters is being carried out in Kaite (Ojo Cuareña Karstic System, N Spain), a small isolated cave selected for paleodimate studies. In this paper, the experimental methodology of the hydrochemical monitoring is presented and the first results, corresponding to a complete year, are exposed and interpreted PB Sociedad Geológica de España YR 2003 FD 2003 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/8977 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/8977 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 29 may 2026
