Cave hosted ice bodies have been reported to suffer significant mass loss worldwide.
Although some successful achievements were reported recently to confirm the potential of …

Sublimation waves are periodic, linear and transverse bedforms that grow by sublimation of
icy substrates under turbulent winds. They occur in different environments of the Earth and …

Coarsely crystalline carbonates that formed cryogenically in caves (CCC coarse for short)
are important paleoenvironmental archives that provide evidence of former perennial ice …

Cryogenic cave carbonate (CCC) represents a specific type of speleothem whose
precipitation is triggered by freezing of mineralized karst water. Coarsely crystalline CCC …

Mid-latitude alpine caves preserve a record of past solid precipitation during winter, locally
spanning several centuries to millennia. Dating organic macro-remains trapped in ice layers …

Perennial ice deposits in caves represent unique, but underexplored, terrestrial sequences
that potentially contain outstanding palaeoclimatic records. Here, we present a pioneer …

Ice caves are, similar to mountain glaciers, threatened by the warming climate. To better
understand the response of perennial ice in caves to a changing climate, we analysed the …

Frozen water is the most widespread type of ice present in ice caves and forms ice
stalagmites and stalactites as well as floor ice, which is often several meters thick. Organic …

Ice caves can be considered an indicator of the long-term changes in the landscape. Ice
volume is dynamic in the caves throughout the year, but the inter-seasonal comparison of …

Meteorological measurements were performed in a prominent ice cave (Eisriesenwelt,
Austria) during a full annual cycle. The data show the basic features of a dynamically …
