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 āNature Tells Its Story, Part 2ā of Unfold, °µTV researchers discuss how these water droplets provide a āclimate archiveā that may help us predict future shifts in rain, snow and drought.
