This volume is a compilation of papers relative to paleokarst and associated reservoirs. The examples illustrate many of the rock types, and stratigraphic, structural and palaeotopographic features of carbonate strata which result chiefly from solution and collapse due to ingres…
This volume presents an overview of the main hazards affecting karst, including collapse and subsidence phenomena, hydrological hazards and human-induced geohazards. Consideration is also given to the problems of geohazard management in karst. Aimed at providing the reader with …

This book describes Sicilys unique and varied karst features, discussing the notable geographical areas, their lithology and genesis and, in a number of cases, their value as geosites to be preserved for scientific or tourism purposes. The rich variety of Meso-Cenozoic outcroppi…
Carbonates constitute Earth's largest carbon (C) reservoir, with most shallow marine deposition occurring on the low-latitude carbonate platforms covering ~800,000 km2. The Yucatán Platform situated between the Western Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico basins, is one of the largest p…
This book documents and describes 32 natural caves from France and around the globe that have a width larger than 50 m, including data on the largest underground chamber in the world: Sarawak Chamber. Artificial caves are not able to be constructed at these volumes and most of t…

This book discusses the karst and pseudokarst of the Upper Midwest, USA, consisting of the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois--the first regional synthesis in 40 years. Starting with an overview of the regional geology of what is largely glaciated fluviokarst and…
