The environmental features of the Monte Corchia cave system (Apuan Alps, central Italy) and their effects on speleothem growth

The Monte Corchia cave system, one of the most famous and popular caves in Italy, has in recent times been the subject of investigation on its speleothems as paleoclimate archives. This paper describes the geology, geomorphology and water chemistry of the cave system with the aim to elucidate the pr...
