Karst topography is a landscape formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. It is characterized by underground drainage systems with sinkholes, dolines, and caves. It has also been documented for weathering-resistant rocks, such as quartzite, given the right conditions. Subterranean drainage may limit surface water with few to no rivers or lakes. However, in regions where the dissolved bedrock is covered (perhaps by debris) or confined by one or more superimposed non-soluble rock strata, distinctive karst surface developments might be totally missing.
The English word karst was borrowed from German Karst in the late 19th century. The German word came into use before the 19th century. According to the prevalent interpretation, the term is derived from the German name for the Kras region (Italian: Carso), a limestone plateau surrounding the city of Trieste in the northern Adriatic (nowadays, located on the border between Slovenia and Italy, in the 19th century part of the Austrian Littoral). Scholars disagree, however, on whether the German word (which shows no metathesis) was borrowed from Slovene. The Slovene common noun kras was first attested in the 18th century, and the adjective form kraški in the 16th century. As a proper noun, the Slovene form Grast was first attested in 1177, referring to the Karst Plateau—a region in Slovenia partially extending into Italy, where the first research on karst topography was carried out. The Slovene words arose through metathesis from the reconstructed form *korsъ, borrowed from Dalmatian Romance carsus. Ultimately, the word is of Mediterranean origin, believed to derive from some Romanized Illyrian base. It has been suggested that the word may derive from the Proto-Indo-European root karra- "rock". The name may also be connected to the oronym Kar(u)sádios oros cited by Ptolemy, and perhaps also to Latin Carusardius.

Plot: The fallen angel Azazel(Raw Leiba) has come to Earth at the behest of the Winter Faerie Queen(Debbie Rochon), and formed an alliance with the Greek god Hermes(Christopher Jason Bolton). Together they seek to resurrect Azazel's demigod children, the Nephilim, whose existence would destroy the world. A second fallen angel, Shemihazya(Sean-Michael Argo), has been summoned by the Summer Faerie Queen(Fiona Horne) to oppose the raising of the Nephilim. He aligns himself with the Greek goddess Hecate(Bekah Kelso), forcing her to help him in his quest by possessing the body of her lover. The Gods and Angels battle across modern city streets and the pristine forests of the spirit world, their struggle set against the backdrop of a civil war between the Queens of Faerie, as the forces of Winter seek to dominate the people of Summer.

Limestone is a hard, grey sedimentary rock largely composed of Calcium Carbonate. It was formed under the sea from the remains of organic matter such as seashells and plants. This video explains the processes that formed limestone and the different types of features found in Karst landscapes such as caves, sink holes, and many more. This video was filmed in China, Thailand and New Zealand.

Slovenia's Karst region — a high, fertile, and windblown plateau — is honeycombed with a vast network of caves and underground rivers. The most dramatic cave to tour is Škocjan, with a breathtaking footbridge 150 feet above a crashing river.

Aus der 3sat Mediathek, eine Dokumentation über Menschen und ihr leben im Karst. Mit Karst ist DER Karst gemeint, dass slowenische Karstgebiet, nach dem sämtliche anderen Karstgebiete ihren Namen erhalten haben. Gezeigt werden Menschen, die mit den üblichen Karsterscheinungen leben, sie nutzen und schätzen gelernt haben. Dabei geht es neben Höhlen auch um Schlucklöcher, Dolinen und Quellen.

This webinar was conducted as part of the Climate Change Science and Management Webinar Series, co-hosted by the USGS National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center and the FWS National Conservation Training Center. Webinar Description: One-half of North American imperiled species live in subterranean habitats, which largely are associated with karst (a type of landscape underlain by limestone that has been eroded over time, producing caves, sinkholes, towers and other formations). Further, karst aquifers provide a unique opportunity to investigate the effects of climate change on groundwater at timescales of human interest because these aquifers exhibit large variability in hydrologic responses, such as springflow (i.e. groundwater discharge) and water-table level (i.e. level below w...
The first expedition to a remote wilderness area in northwestern BC which may contain Canada's deepest cave.
Through Research and Development (R&D;) sponsorship, Andrea Borghi of University of Neuchâtel has developed a new methodology to model karst aquifers in a stochastic framework. The 'Stochastic Karst Simulator' uses information from a geological model and a Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) model to generate stochastic realizations of the conduit networks that can then be used for groundwater flow modeling. Main Features * Consistency with geological knowledge * Stochastic approach (uncertainty analysis, etc) * Consistency with current conceptual model about karst genesis * Conditioning to several field data (tracer tests), known inlets (dolines, sinkholes) and outlets (springs) * Possibility to use generated karst model in flow models (e.g. MODFLOW) Learn more: https://www.waterloohydrogeo...
