Overview

Karst is a terrain with distinctive hydrology and landforms, arising from a combination of high rock solubility, well developed secondary porosity and rock structure. The distinctive landforms above and below ground which are a hallmark of the Karst region in Yugoslavia result from its unusual subsurface hydrology. The authors believe that hydrological and chemical processes associated with Karst are best understood from a systems perspective, and have determined the approach adopted by this book accordingly. They argue that Karst can be viewed as an open system composed of two closely integrated hydrological and geochemical subsystems operating under the Karstic rocks. Karst landforms are the result of the interplay of processes in these linked subsystems. This book has been designed specifically as a reference text for both practising geologists and postgraduate geology students.
