Landscape evolution of Menikio mountain (Macedonia, Greece) based on morphological and sedimentological analyses of caves

Abstract

The present study examines the landscape evolution of the Menikio Mountain based on morphological features that are evident inside the caves. The various evolutionary stages of the Mountain’s landscape development are dated. In addition, a paleoclimatic reconstruction for the broader area is attempted. For this approach two stalagmites have been selected from the Mikro and Megalo Eptamilon caves. U – series dating techniques were used in order to determine the exact time spam of the records and in order to obtain the paleoclimatic signal, measurements of δ18O and δ13C were performed along the growth axis of the stalagmites.The project employs a range of approaches, using extensive fieldwork inside the caves alongside with laboratory chemical procedures in order to define the paleoenviromental conditions. Also, geographic information systems and remote sensing techniques together with electric resistivity tomographies and borehole data were used in order to define old buried landforms a ...
