Advances in Karst Science Eurokarst 2024

This book covers advances in the field of karst from a variety of perspectives to facilitate knowledge and promotes interaction between disciplines. New methods are addressed that advance data collection, analysis, and interpretation in a wide range of karst contexts. Case studies are presented to provide examples of advancing science. Issues addressed include karst hydrogeology (water resources assessment, groundwater pollution and protection), methods to study karst aquifers (based on hydrodynamic, hydrochemistry, isotopes, dye tracing, geophysical surveys, and modelling techniques), karst geomorphology and landscape, mining and engineering in karst media (tunnels, dams, etc.), and karst cavities (touristic caves, natural heritage). This book is a resource for scientists around the world to compare problems, results and solutions. Likewise, the examples included can be used in policy decision making in karst regions. Finally, the contributions can be used as a tool for university teaching.
