  abstract = {{C}limate change has recently become a major concerning among scientists and the general public. {A} better knowledge of past climates helps forecasting the future evolution of climate. {S}table water isotopes stand as an outstanding paleo-climate proxy. {P}hysical properties of heavy stable water isotopes ({H}218{O}, {HDO}) cause fractionation processes related to temperature and degree of distillation. {I}f the isotopic signal is correctly inverted, past climate change can be inferred from isotopic archives. {A}ndean ice-cores offer a unique records of tropical climate and its variability through time. {H}owever, the interpretation of the isotopic signal is difficult because of complex atmospheric dynamic over {S}outh {A}merica. {F}or this purpose, we developed a module handling the stable water isotope fractionation processes within the regional circulation model {REMO} and applied it to {S}outh {A}merica. {T}he manuscript outlines the major milestones of the present {P}h{D}. {W}e first introduce the research toic in the wider scope of climate change; the description of the stable water isotope enabled regional circulation model {REMO}iso; an initial validation of {REMO}iso over {E}urope; an investigation of the seasonal variations of precipitation, atmospheric circulation and isotopic signal over {S}outh {A}merica; and at last the recording of the south {A}merican monsoon system ({SAMS}) by stable water isotope diagnostics.},
