“…Ice caves are rock cavities that host perennial ice resulting from the diagenesis of snow 48 and/or freezing of infiltrated water (Perşoiu and Onac, 2012). Ice cave deposits are 49 unique cryospheric archives with high palaeoenvironmental potential, based on 50 geochemical and biological variables associated with changes in climate, vegetation, 51 and hydrology of mid-high altitude and latitude areas (Stoffel et al, 2009;Feurdean et 52 al., 2011;Kern and Perşoiu, 2013;Perşoiu et al, 2017). However, cave ice archives 53 have been poorly exploited as palaeoclimatic records because of a lack of robust 54 chronologies, difficulties in interpreting isotopic signals and detection of ablation 55 periods in ice sequences (Luetscher et al, 2007;Stoffel et al, 2009;Hercman et al, 56 2010; Feurdean et al, 2011;Spötl et al, 2014;Perşoiu et al, 2017).…”

“…Comprehensive monitoring programmes of detecting dynamics of the cave ice accumulations are rare, but some examples can be listed, e.g. Perşoiu and Pazdur (2011), Kern and Perşoiu (2013), and Kern and Thomas (2014).…”

Detecting dynamics of cave floor ice with selective cloud-to-cloud approach

Abstract. Ice caves can be considered an indicator of the long-term changes in the landscape. Ice volume is dynamic in the caves throughout the year, but the inter-seasonal comparison of ice dynamics might indicate change in the hydrological–climatic regime of the landscape. However, evaluating cave ice volume changes is a challenging task that requires continuous monitoring based on detailed mapping. Today, laser scanning technology is used for cryomorphology mapping to record the status of the ice with ultra-high resolution. Point clouds from individual scanning campaigns need to be localised in a unified coordinate system as a time series to evaluate the dynamics of cave ice. Here we present a selective cloud-to-cloud approach that addresses the issue of registration of single-scan missions into the unified coordinate system. We present the results of monitoring ice dynamics in the Silická ľadnica cave situated in Slovak Karst, which started in summer of 2016. The results show that the change of ice volume during the year is continuous and we can observe repeated processes of degradation and ice formation in the cave. The presented analysis of the inter-seasonal dynamics of the ice volume demonstrates that there has been a significant decrement of ice in the monitored period. However, further long-term observations are necessary to clarify the mechanisms behind this change.

“…The other methods comprise markers distributed and attached on the ice floor and/or cave walls (Pflitsch et al, 2016), geodetic surveying (Gašinec et al, 2014), absolute dating (Luetscher et al, 2007) and drilling (May et al, 2011). Complex monitoring programs of detecting cave ice accumulations dynamics has been built in caves sporadically (Kern and Perșoiu, 2013). Complex programs for monitoring the cave ice dynamics were introduced in few cases (Perșoiu and Pazdur, 2011;Kern and Thomas, 2014).…”

Abstract. Ice caves can be considered as an indicator of the long-term changes in the landscape. Dynamics in ice volume in the caves are common throughout the year, but the inter-seasonal comparison of ice dynamics indicates a change in the hydrological-climatic regime of the landscape. However, evaluating cave ice volume changes is a challenging task that requires continuous monitoring based on detailed mapping. Nowadays, laser scanning technology is used for cryomorphology mapping to record a status of the ice at an ultra-high resolution. In order to evaluate the dynamics of cave ice, it is necessary to place individual measurements in an unified coordinate system. In the presented paper, we propose a selective cloud-to-cloud approach that addresses the issue of registration of single scan missions into unified coordinate system. We present the results of the ice dynamics monitoring in the Silická ľadnica cave situated in the Slovak Karst, which started in summer of 2016. Based on the results we can conclude that the change in ice volume during the year is continuous and we can observe repeated processes of degradation and ice formation in the cave. Presented analysis of the inter-seasonal dynamics of the ice volume demonstrates that there has been a significant decrement of ice in the monitored period.
