Landscape evolution
Speleothems are used in many ways to provide constraints on landscape evolution. Dating of broken or tilted speleothems can provides ages for past seismic events e.g.
Becker, A., Davenport, C.A., Eichenberger, U., Gilli, E., Jeannin, P-Y., Lacave, C (2006) Speleosiesmology: a critical perspective. Journal of Seismology 10, 371-388.

Similarly speleothem ages can provide constraints on rates of river incision, uplift, or continental aridification e.g.
Columbu, A., De Waele, J., Forti, P., Montagna, P., Picotti, V., Pons-Branchu, E., Hellstrom, J., Bajo, P., Drysdale, R. (2015) Gypsum caves as indicators of climate-driven river incision and aggradation in a rapidly uplifting region. Geology 43, 539-542
