Abstract
Mid-latitude speleothems often contain detailed, high-resolution records of local and regional interglacial climate changes. Many speleothem records of Holocene (MIS 1) and Eemian (MIS 5e) climate evolution have been investigated, but there is very little work being done in the Balkan region, despite the fact that the area is very rich in limestone caves with speleothems. We are investigating speleothems from the Western Balkan Peninsula that are likely to contain one of the most detailed, high-resolution records of local and regional interglacial climate changes in Southeast Europe. By example of a stalagmite collected in Vernjikica Cave, Serbia (Carpatho-Balkans), the project’s potential to address important aspects of paleoclimatic research in the Mediterranean realm is discussed.
