Quaternary tufa in the Serra da Bodoquena Karst, West-Central Brazil: Evidence of wet period

Abstract

Holocene was a wet and warmer climate period and the climate change began in the last 2,700 years BP with the decrease of the rainfall and tufa deposition. These events probably synchronous with orbital changes, and ratified models of the relative sealevel in Brazil, with important negative fluctuation between 3,000 to 2,500 yr BP.
