Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Journal of Quaternary Science"
DOI: 10.1002/jqs.3667
Abstract: The Middle and Upper Palaeolithic sites in the Carpathians and Danube lowlands constitute key contexts for tracing the dispersal of Homo sapiens into central‐western Europe and the replacement of Homo neanderthalensis. Surprisingly, the Romanian archaeological… read more here.

Speleogenesis, geometry, and topology of caves: A quantitative study of 3D karst conduits
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Geomorphology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2017.09.019
Abstract: Abstract Karst systems are hierarchically spatially organized three-dimensional (3D) networks of conduits behaving as drains for groundwater flow. Recently, geostatistical approaches proposed to generate karst networks from data and parameters stemming from analogous observed karst… read more here.

DOI: 10.3161/15081109acc2019.21.2.016
Abstract: Caves are very important roosts for bats. Neotropical countries, like Brazil, harbor both high bat species richness and abundance of underground cavities. The Caatinga drylands in northeastern Brazil are a good example with potentially 100… read more here.
