Abstract Karst regions represent 7–12% of the Earth's continental area, and about one
quarter of the global population is completely or partially dependent on drinking water from …

Karst systems have a high degree of heterogeneity and anisotropy, which makes them
behave very differently from other aquifers. Slow seepage through the rock matrix and fast …

Originally published in 1989, Karst Geomorphology and Hydrology became the leading
textbook on karst studies. This new textbook has been substantially revised and updated …

Filling a gap in the karst literature, this book describes methods most appropriate for use in
karst terrains. These include methods that are basic to all hydrogeological studies, such as …

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 …

This paper is intended to provide insight into the controlling mechanisms of karst genesis
based on an advanced modeling approach covering the characteristic hydraulics in karst …

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 presence of significant non-stationarity in a hydrologic time series cannot be ignored
when estimating design values for future time horizons. This paper introduces a second …

The field of reactive transport modeling has expanded significantly in the past two decades
and has assisted in resolving many issues in Earth Sciences. Numerical models allow for …

We present a discussion of the state-of-the art on modelling geometrical characteristics,
hydrogeological behavior and geochemical evolution of karst aquifers of meteoric origin …
