Speleogenesis Evolution of Karst Aquifers

This book is a pioneer attempt by an international group of cave scientists to summarize modern knowledge about the origin of caves in various settings, examine the variety of approaches that have been adopted, and outline the role of speleogenesis in the evolution of karst aquifers. Along with well-established theories and approaches, the book contains new concepts and ideas emerging in recent years. We hope that this approach will stimulate further development and exchange of ideas in cave studies and karst hydrogeology. 496 pages, 356 illustrations, Hardback, laminated cover, ISBN 1-879961-09-1
