Summary of the number of peaks identified in transects, the method used to detect the peaks, and the age constraints for each stalagmite.

Automation method used	1st Derivative (Savitzky-Golay filter used 30 pt window)			1st Derivative (Savitzky-Golay filter used 30 pt window)			1st Derivative (Savitzky-Golay filter used 10 pt window)
Age Constraint	None			80 years (board walk stalagmite, see Treble et al. 2003 and 2005)			U-Th 183 ± 54 years
Comments	This sample has cracks that take up approx. 2 mm. Using the average growth rate of each cycle in our peak fitting chronology, this makes up about 5 to 6 years of missing data.			T2 missing latest year (1991), T1 has extra cycle at 10.25 mm			Chronology falls within the age constraints of U-Th dates
