This book contains papers presented at the 2010 meeting of the 4th International ISKA. It covers karst hydrogeology and investigations, karst landscape and ecosystems, human interaction with karst environments, and engineering geology in karst areas.

The Malaga Symposia Series provides an international forum for scientific debate on the progress made in research into karst environments. The 2010 meeting of the 4th International ISKA presents 80 papers in four key areas: karst hydrogeology and investigations, karst landscape and ecosystems, human interaction with karst environments, and engineering geology in karst areas. This book will be a useful edition to the libraries of consultants, scientists, lecturers, and policy makers concerned with the special issues of karst terrains.

Karst media and recent investigations to a high level Provides new insights into Karst Hydrogeology Concentrates on groundwater recharge and protection of Karst aquifers Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
