Thermoelasticity of ice explains widespread damage in dripstone caves during glacial periods

C Spötl, AH Jarosch, A Saxer, G Koltai, H Zhang - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
Damage to speleothems is a common phenomenon in mid-latitude caves, and multiple
causes have been proposed. Here we report on one of such type of damage, namely …
