The current knowledge on thermal water resources in carbonate rock aquifers is presented
in this review, which also discusses geochemical processes that create reservoir porosity …

The permeability of bedrock aquifers varies by more than four orders of magnitude between
different lithologies, but the reasons for this large range remain unexplained. In this review …

The Encyclopedia of Caves and Karst Science contains 350 alphabetically arranged entries.
The topics include cave and karst geoscience, cave archaeology and human use of caves …

Advances over the past 40 years have resulted in a clear understanding of how dissolution
processes in carbonate rocks enhance aquifer permeability. Laboratory experiments on …

Sequence stratigraphy is a useful tool for the prediction of primary (depositional) porosity
and permeability. However, these primary characteristics are modified to variable extents by …

Groundwater in karstic aquifers can be especially vulnerable to pollution, that includes
nutrients from diffuse agricultural sources. The study focuses on the functioning of three …

Cave development is related to the geomorphic evolution. Their morphology, preserved far
longer than correlative surface features allows reconstructing the regional history of the …

A new numerical ground-water-flow model (Edwards aquifer model) that incorporates
important components of the latest information and plausible conceptualization of the …

Karst aquifers are known for being particularly heterogeneous with highly transmissive
conduits embedded in low permeability volumes of rock matrix. Artificial tracer experiments …

The Nullarbor Plain of southeastern Australia,∼ 200,000 km 2 in area, is flat and mostly
treeless. It contains widely scattered collapse dolines and a few hundred caves, some of …
