Opis

Filling a gap in the karst literature, this book describes methods most appropriate for use in karst terrains. These include methods that are basic to all hydrogeological studies, such as hydraulic investigations, hydrochemistry, geophysics, isotope chemistry and modelling, with the emphasis placed on their application to karst systems. The various chapters of this book are written by experts in all the different methods. Most of the chapters are multi-authored, and the authors include hydrogeologists who are experienced in evaluating a variety of karst environments and who together, provide a balanced view of all the karst methods.

O autorze

Dr Nico Goldscheider studied geology at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany and has been Senior Lecturer at the Centre of Hydrogeology at the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland since 2002. He is a specialist in karst hydrogeology, tracing techniques and groundwater quality monitoring, and has an interest in the microbiological aspects of karst hydrogeology.

Dr David Drew studied at the Universities of Nottingham and Bristol, UK. He is currently Senior Lecturer in Geography at Trinity College Dublin. His particular research interests include the hydrogeology of karstic areas and human interaction with the karstic environment.
