内容説明

Karst covers approximately 12% of the world's land surface. It is not only rich in resources such as water, mineral deposits, fossil fuels and tourism attractions, but also suffers from a series of particular environmental problems and natural disasters, including leakage of surface water, drought, flood, surface collapse, and rock desertification. Karst area is, therefore, regarded as a fragile environment by the world scientific community. This book is the final report of the UNESCO/IUGS supported International Geological Correlation Programme (IGCP) Project 299 "Geology, Climate, Hydrology and Karst Formation" (1990-1994). Following the guidelines of Earth System Science, and multidisciplinary cooperation between the geologists, geographers, speleologists, physicists, biologists and chemists, involved in this project, IGCP 299 has adopted systematic methodologies, and got many new findings on karst processes, thus contributing to the development of modern karstology.
