Permafrost occurrence during the Last Permafrost Maximum in the Western Carpathian Mountains of Slovakia as inferred from cryogenic cave carbonate
Coarse crystalline cryogenic cave carbonate ( CCC ) forms during the slow freezing of standing water pools and represents indirect proof of freezing temperature in the past. The dating by U ‐series of CCC deposits from nine caves in the W estern C arpathians M ountains of S lovakia suggests that fre...
