The authors regret that, while revisiting the data of the paper:“The impact of fire on the geochemistry of speleothem-forming drip water in a sub-alpine cave” by Coleborn et al.(2018) for further analysis, a serious error in the experimental procedure was discovered. A critical assessment revealed that some of the conclusions and wider implications of the paper are invalidated by the error. We have consulted with the editors of Science of the Total Environment and based on their advice, decided to publish this corrigendum explaining the limitations to the interpretation of the data. We also point out that a significant part of the paper and its data can still be used.The stable water isotope data (δ 18 O and δ 2 H) and trace element (B, Cu, Fe, Na, Ni, Pb, Ti, Zn, Si) data for the 5th July 2015 sampling event are unreliable. While acid-washed HDPE bottles were used to collect the drip water samples (as stated in the Methods section), the samples were subsequently split into aliquots in the lab. Polypropylene vials were routinely used for cation, anion and water isotope analysis, with the exception of samples collected on 5th July 2015. On this occasion, aliquots were erroneously transferred into non-standard labware consisting of glass-walled containers with ill-fitting polypropylene lids. This was only realised when the aliquots were removed from storage after the manuscript had been published.
