Cathedral Cave, Wellington Caves, New South Wales, Australia. A multiphase, non-fluvial cave
  • Cathedral Cave, Wellington Caves, New South Wales, Australia. A multiphase, non-fluvial cave
  • Australia ; Cave ; Geomorphology ; Inventory ; Karst ; Karstification ; New South Wales ; Palaeokarst ; Stratigraphy
  • Cathedral Cave is an outstanding example of a class of multiphase caves with largely non-fluvial origins. It is possible to recognize at least 10 significant phases of speleogenesis by morphostratigraphy, in addition to the 4 generations of cave
  • -filling palaeokarst deposits intersected by the cave. The cave we see today results from the progressive integration of a number of previously disconnected or poorly connected solution cavities.
Eogenetic caves in Pleistocene carbonate in Slovenia
  • Eogenetic caves in Pleistocene carbonate in Slovenia
  • Cave ; Cave development ; Classification ; Conglomerate ; Diagenesis ; Karst ; Pleistocene ; Slovenia ; Speleology
  • This paper focuses on caves in Pleistocene carbonate conglomerates in Slovenia and for the first time defines them as eogenetic. The conglomerates show no deep burial that would resemble the mezogenetic stage of diagenesis and are still in the phase
  • of early diagenesis (i.e. eogenetic stage). Based on speleological analysis the eogenetic caves were grouped into four types; (1) linear stream caves, (2) shelter caves, (3) breakdown caves, and (4) vadose shafts. - (IKR)

Brezstropa jama v Podbojeven lazu, Rakov Škocjan
  • Cave ; Cave development ; Erosion ; Karst ; Slovenia
  • The paper presents a denuded cave in the area of Podbojev laz, on the NW side of the Rakov Škocjan. The morphological properties of several sections of the denuded cave and its surroundings are described. It developed from an epiphreatic cave system
  • which used to function as an outflow cave system from the Rak valley. Morphometrical analysis of the slopes show that the denuded cave was developed in stages. As the surrounding surface is not flattened, the cave roof has been denuded gradually. - (L'A.).
Cave development under the influence of Pleistocene glaciation in the Dinarides - an example from Štirovača Ice Cave (Velebit Mt., Croatia)
  • Cave development under the influence of Pleistocene glaciation in the Dinarides - an example from Štirovača Ice Cave (Velebit Mt., Croatia)
  • Cave development ; Croatia ; Glacial features ; Glaciation ; Karst ; Karstification ; Palaeo-environment ; Pleistocene ; Records
  • The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Pleistocene glaciations on the speleogenesis of Štirovača Ice Cave, based on analyses of surface and cave morphology and of cave sediments, since it is well known that caves, and particularly clastic
  • sediments in caves, contain abundant information on speleogenesis and on the conditions of karstification. The AA. assume that Štirovača Ice Cave represents an important archive in regard to tha glacial history of the Velebit Mt.

Geographic wonders : wind cave and jewel cave. The other national treasures of the Black Hills, South Dakota
  • Geographic wonders : wind cave and jewel cave. The other national treasures of the Black Hills, South Dakota
  • Cave ; Geomorphology ; Nature park ; South Dakota ; United States of America
  • Although overshadowed by Mt. Rushmore National Memorial, which has become the place image of the Black Hills, Wind Cave National Park and Jewel Cave National Monument comprise two important national treasures set within the regional milieu
  • of the Black Hills. These caves serve as prime examples of how very weak geomorphic processes associated with solution weathering can become dominant and render a vast and complicated subterranean landscape in an environment insulated completely from sunlight
  • , rain, wind erosion, freezing/thawing, flowing water and bioturbation. Indeed, other than a few colonies of bats near the cave entrances, both caves are essentially devoid of life. - (IfL)

  • where saline water from the Gulf of Mexico and fresh water from the Ocala uplift mixed. Further uplift elevated the caves above the mixing zone. Erosion caused sections of caves passages to collapse and/or be filled with sediment. The caves are fossil

Effects of tourist development on caves and karst
  • Effects of tourist development on caves and karst
  • This paper reviews some of the most common problems in cave and karst parks. Evidence from research on karst parks and tourist caves shows a decline over time in the diversity biota and a general degradation of the park experience for more tourists
  • . A determination of the limits of acceptable change may be a more useful guideline for evaluating cave development and visitor impacts.
