California boasts hundreds of caves, many of them hidden in the Sierra Nevada foothills. These caves hold much more than beautiful icicle-like stalactites and stalagmites. Trapped inside the stalagmites are tiny droplets of fossilized precipitation from climates long ago. In “Nature Tells Its Story, Part 2” of Unfold, 51ԹϺ Davis researchers discuss how these water droplets provide a “climate archive” that may help us predict future shifts in rain, snow and drought.
