台灣新竹關西與高雄壽山地區三件洞穴碳酸鈣標本經過定年、碳氧同位素值、鍶濃度與鍶同位素比值的測定結果顯示，壽山鐘乳石（TSC-1）生長年代約為13500-9020年前，壽山石筍（TSG-1）生長年代約為41100-16220年前，關西鐘乳石（GS）受限於放射性碳十四定年法的限制以定年控制點的位置推算生長年代約為165000～13000年前；碳氧同位素結果顯示本研究中洞穴碳酸鈣的碳、氧同位素變化可以判讀為主要來自地表植被以及降雨的變化所致；鍶濃度極可能與氣候所導致的生長速率變化有關；鍶同位素比值的差異研判洞穴碳酸鈣在沉積的時候，可能受到其他來源的混染；鍶同位素比值對鍶濃度倒數作圖推測，關西與壽山兩地的洞穴碳酸鈣各有三種外來沉積端源與基礎端源混合。基礎端源為石灰圍岩與另一固定的沉積來源混合後形成。壽山地區的主要外來沉積有細粒黃土、粗粒黃土以及海水或天水；關西地區則為海水或天水、黃土灰塵和火山碎屑；沉積來源變化與季風的轉變相呼應，洞穴碳酸鈣的鍶同位素具有相當潛力成為研究季風變化的有利工具。

　　Stable isotopes of C and O in speleothems record the change of paleohumidity, precipitation intensity and temperature. Strontium isotopes, however, can be the most powerful tracer for studying possible sources of groundwater in the past due to its negligible isotopic fractionation during physical or chemical processes operating at the surface of Earth (such as evaporation, precipitation or temperature variation).
We have collected three cave carbonates from Guan-si and Shoushan for a detailed investigation of possible environmental changes in the last 1650,000 years. The geologic conditions of Guan-si area located in northwestern Taiwan, mainly Miocene to Pliocen sedimentary rocks with inserted basaltic volcanic detritus, are distinctive from that of Shoushan area (Pleistocene marine carbonate) in the southwestern Taiwan. The carbon and oxygen isotopic values of well-dated speleothems, Guan-si stalactite (165,000~13,000ka), Shoushan stalagmite (41,100~16,220ka) and stalactite (13,500~9,020ka), record very important climatic events occurred in the last 165000 years, including the last glacial-interglacial transition and Younger Dryas event. Temporal strontium concentrations showed similar trends with the oxygen isotopic records, possibly dominated by growth rate changes due to groundwater supply. Sr isotopic ratios showed interesting source variations other than ambient carbonates.
Our preliminary results imply that climate changes accompanied with monsoon changes influence significantly the Sr source variation in ground water. Strontium and stable isotopic study of speleothems has tremendous potential to be a powerful tool of paleomonsoon research.
