SISAL working group launch

SISAL (Speleothem Isotopes Synthesis and AnaLysis) is a new PAGES working group which brings together speleothem scientists, speleothem-process modelers, statisticians and climate modelers to develop a global synthesis of speleothem isotopes that can be used both to explore past climate changes and in model evaluation.

Some of SISAL's key goals are to identify the current status of speleothem-based paleoclimate reconstructions globally and to initiate the compilation of raw data and metadata needed to create a publicly available global database of speleothem δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C records.
