Karst water resources are valuable freshwater sources for around 10% of the world
population. Nonetheless, anthropogenic factors and global changes have been seriously …

We review the current understanding of the physics of caves and karst. Our review focuses
on research that has used simple physically based models to improve understanding of …

Spatial heterogeneity in the subsurface of karst environments is high, as evidenced by the
multiphase porosity of carbonate rocks and complex landform features that result in marked …

This study presents the first field validation of using DNA-labeled silica nanoparticles as
tracers to image subsurface reservoirs by travel time based tomography. During a field …

The modeling and prediction of heat transfer in fractured media is particularly challenging as
hydraulic and transport properties depend on a multiscale structure that is difficult to resolve …

Fissures and conduits are main void of karstic aquifer. Karst aquifers are highly vulnerable to
contamination as water exchange between fissure system and conduit system greatly …

While several studies explore cave climate and thermal regimes, little is known about the
controls on cave drip water temperature. Yet water temperature significantly influences …

Thermal responses of groundwater are useful signatures to reveal the recharge-discharge
process and characterize aquifer structure in karst groundwater. Four karst springs with …

When water is injected into a fracture-dominated reservoir that is cooler or hotter than the
injected water, the reservoir permeability is expected to be altered by the injection-induced …

Climate predictions indicate that precipitation patterns will change and average air
temperatures will increase across much of the planet. These changes will alter surface water …
