Cryogenic cave carbonate – a new tool for estimation of the Last Glacial permafrost depth of the Central Europe
2012
Abstract. Cryogenic cave carbonate (CCC) represents a specific type of speleothems, whose precipitation is triggered by freezing of mineralized karst water. Coarse-crystalline CCC, which formed during slow freezing of water in cave pools, is known in 20 Central European caves located in Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland. All these caves are situated in an area, which was glacier-free during the Weichselian. Whereas the formation of usual types of speleothems in caves of this region usually ceased during glacials, CCC precipitation was restricted to glacial periods. Since CCC represents a novel, useful paleoclimate proxy, data from Weichselian CCC occurrences in caves in Centr…
