Figure 6: Comparison between stalagmite records from Mesoamerica.
From: Persistent drying in the tropics linked to natural forcing
(a) GU-Xi-1 (this study); (b) southwestern Guerrero (Mexico)17; and (c) Yucatán peninsula (Mexico)18. Open circles represent the raw data from each record. Solid lines represent the 5-point running average applied to the series. The grey circles represent the locations from which the material for the U/Th dates were obtained and the control points of the age models used. The horizontal grey bars represent the uncertainty of each age control point. The difference in alignments of these records depends on their age models (note poor age control of the Yucatán record18) sampling resolution and extent of local and cave environmental overprinting.
