Coarsely crystalline cryogenic cave carbonate – a new archive to estimate the Last Glacial minimum permafrost depth in Central Europe [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2012 Cryogenic cave carbonate (CCC) represents a specific type of speleothem whose precipitation is triggered by freezing of mineralized karst water. Coarsely crystalline CCC, which formed during slow freezing of water in cave pools, has been reported from 20

Characteristics and formation mechanism of karst collapse in Yunnan Plateau
Zhongguo dizhi zaihai yu fangzhi xuebao, 2022 The general characteristics of karst collapse in Yunnan plateau is comprehensively influenced and determined by the specific geological environment, karst development, hydrogeology, hydrometeorology and human engineering activities. This article analyses

The faunistic diversity of cave-dwelling spiders (Arachnida, Araneae) of Greece [PDF]
, 2011 Until today, from Greek caves a total of 109 species of spiders belonging to 25 families are known. One species, the linyphiid Porrhomma convexum (Westring, 1861) was recorded here for the first time in Greece. The 109 species are distributed in caves of

Deep time in Cave of Forgotten Dreams
Screen, 2020 This essay considers how Werner Herzog’s 3D documentary Cave of Forgotten Dreams (2011) presents the entanglement of human drawing with natural formations of rock in a place where beauty is repeatedly ascribed to both these elements – the spectacular Chauvet Cave in the Ardèche gorge in France.

Peculiar Minerogenetic Cave Environments of Mexico: The Cuatro Ciénegas Area
Acta Carsologica, 2006 The karst area of Quatro Ciénegas (Coahuila, Mexico) represents an ideal site to study cave mineralogy, because it hosts caves of different age and genesis (karst, thermal, mine caves).

Evaporite-karst processes, landforms, and environmental problems [PDF]
, 2008 Evaporite karst is widespread, but relatively unknown when compared with carbonate karst; this special issue addresses that lack of familiarity. Evaporite rocks have much higher solubilities and faster dissolution rates than carbonate rocks and they also

Surface runoff alters cave microbial community structure and function.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Caves formed by sulfuric acid dissolution have been identified worldwide. These caves can host diverse microbial communities that are responsible for speleogenesis and speleothem formation.
