Borneo Stalagmite Video

Watch this interesting video below about using stalagmites as a proxy record to find out about past climate and help with predicting the future. This is a short video but mentions how they use fallen stalagmites that have grown from the ground up and show changes in the past about rainfall and precipitation. This is very interesting and adds to where we can collect past climate data from, this is something I did not realize and found it to be something very interesting and make me want to research further. It also mentions a little about how they exactly extract the records, but not into too much detail.
