Early Pleistocene age of fluvial sediment in the Stará Garda Cave revealed by 26Al/10Be burial dating: implications for geomorphic evolution of the Malé Karpaty Mts. (Western Carpathians)

Acta Carsologica, 2017
Assessment of vertical movements of tectonically bounded blocks is crucial for determination of geohazards in densely inhabited zones, such as the border zone of western Slovakia and eastern Austria. The morphostructure of the Malé Karpaty Mts.
