Abstract
The climatic variation of the Pleistocene acted on karst terrains to change the conditions of cave development. These changes were the result of three major effects: Ice Contact Effects, Ice Proximity Effects and Global Effects. Ice Contact Effects involve ice directly, producing glacial quarrying, sediment redistribution, water budget alteration, isostatic rebound, temperature controlled weathering, geochemistry changes, and hydraulic conditions. Ice Proximity Effects work at a distance from glacial ice, and include periglacial conditions, aggradation by outwash, loess deposition and disruption of master streams. Global Effects work over all planet areas and involve custatic sea level change and variation in precipitation.
