<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This book presents the latest advances in karstology by researchers at the ZRC SAZU Karst Research Institute, Slovenia - home of Classical Karst. It features interdisciplinary investigations carried out on the karst surface, subsurface, caves, and associated waters.</p><p>It covers various topics, such as analysis of karst processes, including the mineralogical and lithological characteristics of sediments and carbonate rocks; structural geological mapping; detecting the old traces of paleokarst; the formation of karst surfaces in a variety of types of rock and conditions; and the evolution of karst, which can aid in dating sediments, and in tracing aquifers using artificial and natural tracers.</p><p> In addition, the book provides detailed information on the use and development of various research methods, ranging from comprehensive field research, long-term measurements, and laboratory analyses to computer and laboratory modeling. Integrating karst geology, geomorphology, hydrology, ecology, speleobiology, and microbiology research, these methods provide readers with a far deeper understanding of karst terrains.</p><p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>This book presents the latest advances in karstology by researchers at the ZRC SAZU Karst Research Institute, Slovenia - home of Classical Karst.
