“…The ELA has not only been successfully used to assess the climate during former glaciations (Bakke et al, 2005;Benn and Ballantyne, 2005;Lukas and Bradwell, 2010;Hughes et al, 2010), but also the mass balance of extant glaciers where no such data are available (Hughes, 2009a).…”

A toolbox for the automated calculation of glacier equilibrium-line altitudes (ELAs) using the Accumulation Area Ratio, Area-Altitude Balance Ratio, Area-Altitude and Kurowski methods is presented. These are the most commonly-used methods of ELA calculation in palaeo-glacier reconstructions. The toolbox has been coded in Python and runs in ArcGIS requiring only the reconstructed surface of the palaeo-glacier (a DEM) as input. Through fast and automatic calculation this toolbox simplifies the process of ELA determination and can successfully work both for a single glacier and for large datasets of multiple glaciers

“…The infiltration of the subglacial water into the karst network reduces overland flow, which modifies the discharges of the pro-glacial streams and the sediments they carry. Therefore, when glacier dynamics converge with a subglacial karst (Žebre & Stepišnik 2015), a type of landscape that combines the reliefs derived from both processes, named glaciokarst, is generated (Ford 1979;Smart 2004;Žebre & Stepišnik 2015).During cold stages of the Pleistocene, these dynamics has been common in the calcareous mountains at middle latitudes (Johnson & Stieglizt 1990;Bodgdan & Leszek 1999;Goldie 2006;Lepirica 2008;Hughes et al 2010;Telbisz et al 2011;Adamson et al 2014;Stepišnik 2014;Žebre & Stepišnik 2015;Žebre et al 2016), and also in limestone outcrops of the Cantabrian Mountains were the glacial processes were intense (Jalut et al 2010;Serrano et al 2012Serrano et al , 2013Frochoso et al 2013;Jiménez-Sánchez et al 2013;Santos-González et al 2013a;Gómez-Villar et al 2015;Rodríguez-Rodríguez et al 2016;Ruiz-Fernández et al 2016). However, in lower zones where this association does not occur, karst processes are dominant.…”

This area contains glacial landforms that have not interested geomorphologists due to their low altitude (Peña Castillo is about 1857 m a.s.l.), the absence of glacial cirques and the scarcity of large moraines. However, the prevalence of groundwater flow and chemical dissolution has favoured the preservation of glacial landforms. Lateral and frontal moraines show three main glacial stages and other minor glacier stabilization phases, with the paleo-ELA oscillating between 1650 and 1760 m. Moraines are combined with depressions and sinks resulting from subglacial karstic drainage. This convergence of forms and processes is an exception in the Cantabrian Mountains, where postglacial erosion has usually eroded the frontal moraines and the proglacial sediments. In the case of the Sierra de los Grajos, despite the underground drainage and preservation of many glacial deposits on karstic landforms, an outwash-plain was formed. These proglacial sediments and others from non-karstified areas filled the depressions of the preglacial terrain located at their edges. The main glaciokarstic landforms have been mapped and a sedimentological analysis of the outwash plain was made in order to reconstruct the glacial dynamics of this area.

Zaradi nizke nadmorske višine (Peña Castillo je le 1857 m nad morjem) ter odsotnosti velikih moren in krnic to območje geomorfologov do sedaj ni posebej zanimalo. Prav kraški procesi in z njimi povezano podzemno odtekanje so tu omogočili ohranitev ledeniških oblik. Bočne in čelne morene kažejo na tri glavne faze poledenitev in več manjših faz stabilizacije ledenikov z ravnovesno mejo (ELA) med 1650 in 1760 m.n.m. Morene so pogosto vezane na kraške globeli. Glaciokraške pojave najdemo le na tem območju Kantabrijskega gorovja, kjer je sicer poledeniška erozija odstranila čelne morene in proglacialne sedimente.

“…However, the inner ones, which are younger, are neither remodelled by small scale karst features nor cemented. Even though the chronology of glacial events in the Dinaric Mountains remains unclear, the time frame of those glacial accumulations can be derived through analogy to uranium-series dating of secondary carbonates cement within moraines in the southern Dinaric Mountains (Hughes et al, 2010;Hughes et al, 2011), to cosmic radionuclide dating of erratics on Šar Planina Mountain (Kuhlemann et al, 2009) and to some other studies concerning glaciations of the Dinaric Mountains (Stepišnik et al, 2009;Stepišnik and Žebre, 2011;Žebre and Stepišnik, 2014).

“…Older external moraine ridges are composed of well-cemented material, while the inner ones are well-preserved and are not cemented near the surface. On the basis of analogy to the morphochronology of glacial deposits from the southern part of the Dinaric Mountains (Kuhelmann et al, 2009;Hughes et al, 2010;Hughes et al, 2011), we assume that non-lithified moraine ridges in the study area derive from the LGM. Meanwhile, cemented moraine ridges in the lowest section of the Žes-tikovac valley are of MIS 6.…”

Krasno polje is one of the less typical karst poljes within the Dinaric Mountains. It is situated within Velebit Mountain. Our research utilized morphographic, morphostructural and morphometric analysis of the polje to present its morphogenetic characteristics. It is completely filled with gravel and lacking any surface flows. Slopes above the polje were severely altered by glacial action during the colder periods of the Pleistocene. As a result, proglacial fans filled the karst depression, creating a piedmont type polje. Glacial evidence suggests that there were at least two separate phases of intense proglacial deposition within the polje.Key words: Dinaric Mountains, the Velebit Mountain, polje, glaciation, Croatia Krasno polje tipično je krško polje u Dinarskom gorju. Smješteno je na planini Velebit. U istraživanju smo primijenili morfografske, morfostrukturne i morfometrijske analize polja kako bismo prikazali njegove morfogenetske karakteristike. Polje je u potpunosti ispunjeno šljunkom, a površinskih tokova nema. Padine iznad polja uvelike su izmijenjene glacijalnim procesima tijekom hladnijeg razdoblja pleistocena, zbog čega je proglacijalna lepeza ispunila kršku depresiju i stvorila pijedmontski tip polja. Glacijalni dokazi sugeriraju postojanje dviju odvojenih faza intenzivne proglacijalne akumulacije polja.
