Short summary
A locally financed project aims at studying former mountain glaciers at the Alps–Dinarides junction, and a study was conducted about a currently ice-free plateau that bears evidence of past glaciation. The study combines geomorphological estimates of the ice field extent with computer simulations of the ice field. Although the shape of the past ice field cannot be reconstructed exactly, the computer reconstruction helps us identify past climatic conditions that enabled the ice field's growth.
