These are graphs showing data measured from two stalagmites from QK Cave in Iran in comparison with other proxy records. A: Blue line is δ18Oc from QK14 and green line is QK8.  Both are from the same came but ~75m apart from one another.   Primary driver for long scale climate change is orbital configuration.  Colored diamonds represent U-Th age tie points with their associated error bars.   B: Orange line is δ18Ow measured in the NGRIP ice core.   C: Purple line is δ18Oc measured in Sanbao Cave, China, part of the Hulu Cave record (Wang et al., 2008). D: Dark blue line is δ18Oc measured in Soreq Cave, Israel (Bar-Matthews et al., 2003). E: Light blue line is δ18Oc measured in foraminifera collected from deep sea sediment cores (Lisiecki et al., 2005).
