This chapter describes the extent and formation of karst in Kentucky: how the dissolution of limestone by water shapes the underground and surface of over half of Kentucky; the ways that hydro geologists map karst aquifers, including illustrative examples. The beauty of caving in the Mammoth Cave area and throughout Kentucky karst is illustrated.

Spring is a points of natural, concentrated discharge of groundwater at a rate high enough to maintain flow on the surface. Generally springs are formed where water table intersects with the earth’s surface, or groundwater rises to the surface through rock faults, fractures or depressions.

Karst spring catchment: an example from Dinaric karst
Environmental Earth Sciences, 2015Definition of karst spring catchment or basin area and boundaries belongs to one of the greatest problems of karst hydrology and hydrogeology, not adequately solved until now. This paper tries to address main problems in defining this crucial parameter. The theoretical aspect of this issue is discussed in the first two chapters.

6.4 Karst Geomorphology: Sulfur Karst Processes
2013Recognition and understanding of the important role of sulfur redox processes in developing karst has grown over the last 25 years with the discovery of remarkable sulfur-rich caves worldwide and advances in geomicrobiology. Recent work has shown that microbes interact with hydrocarbons, calcium sulfate bedrock, magmatic fluids, and sulfide ore ...

Karst Terminology and Karst Types in China
1995Before discussing the main karst types in China, some aspects of Chinese karst terminology should be described. In geomorphology, Chinese geographers and hydrogeologists are more concerned with groupings of landforms than with the origins of individual forms.
