Karst Topography and Subsurface Processes
Karst landscapes form where soluble rocks, principally limestone and dolomite, are progressively dissolved by chemically aggressive groundwater, creating distinctive landforms including sinkholes, caves, disappearing streams, and poljes. Karst systems support unique hydrogeological regimes characterised by highly irregular underground drainage, rapid groundwater flow, and extreme vulnerability to contamination. This topic examines the geochemistry of dissolution, the range of karst landforms, cave systems, and the management challenges karst landscapes pose.
