Influence of the Pleistocene glaciations on karst development in the Dinarides – examples from Velebit mt. (Croatia)

Traces of the Pleistocene glaciations in the Dinarides have attracted attention of many researchers. Thus in the Velebit Mt. area in Croatia numerous surface traces of ice influence were explored (destructive and accumulation). As Velebit is dominantly composed of carbonate karstified rocks the interaction between glacial and karst processes is expressed. Such phenomena are visible on the surface and in the karst underground. The aim of this paper is to explore this interaction on three examples in northern and central Velebit Mt.
