Mysterious karst formations at the Velika vrata, 1924 m of Upper Komna (Julian Alps) and the Burren (Co. Clare, Ireland). Similarity in the life of the karst surface after the last ice age./Skrivnostne kraške oblike na Velikih vratih (1950 m) na Komni (Julijske Alpe) in na Burrenu (Co. Clare, Irska). Podobnost v življenju kraškega površja po zadnji ledeni dobi.(
Description:
Predavanje poslušalcu preprosto in nazorno razlaga, kako padavine raztapljajo golo apnenčasto površje in kako zato nastajajo zanimive površinske kraške oblike. Lahko so si podobne, tako na Gorenji Komni v Julijskih Alpah, ali na Burrenu, znamenitem irskem kraškem območju ob atlantski obali, ker sta obe pokrajini doživeli poledenitev. Posebno lašti, apnenčaste plošče okrog Velikih vrat (1924 m), nedaleč od planinske poti, so polne skrivnostnih kraških oblik, nastalih v zadnjem desettisočletju. Posnetki teh umetnin narave z dronom so prava naravoslovna poslastica in odkritje.
The lecture explains how precipitation dissolves the bare limestone surface and how interesting surface karst formations are created as a result. They can be similar, either on Gorenja Komna in the Julian Alps, or on the Burren, the famous Irish karst area along the Atlantic coast, because both landscapes experienced glaciation. Especially beautiful, the limestone pavements around the Velika vrata (1924 m) are full of mysterious karst formations that have formed in the last ten thousand years. Drone footage of these works of nature is a real natural science delicasy and discovery.
Main objectives:
-Ozaveščanje in izobraževanje lokalnega prebivalstva o lastnem okolju, -prenos raziskovalnih rezultatov v širšo in strokovno javnost, -informiranje o obstoju malo znanih in težje dosegljivih reliefnih posebnosti in o genetsko, geološko ter morfološko podobnih pokrajinah v Evropi, -razvijanje zavesti o varstvu okolja, -razvijanje razumevanja o poteku procesov v naravi.
-Raising awareness and educating the local population about their own environment, -transferring research results to the general and professional public, -informing about the existence of little-known and difficult-to-reach relief features and about genetically, geologically and morphologically similar landscapes in Europe, -developing awareness of environmental protection, developing understanding of the course of processes in nature.
