Karst hydrology and Climate changes or climate variabilities

Conducting a basic research of main topics in karstology is key for understanding the nature of karst and its processes. The goal is to understand the complex phenomena of karst ; the evolution of its surface and subsurface, the evolution and function of karst aquifers and karst ecosystems, the origins of karst terminology and the history of karst science. These researches provide knowledge for efficient protection of vulnerable karst environment and planning of human activities on karst.   The idea of “climate change” has become widely synonymous with that of “global warming”. This is paradoxically, construed in a very negative way as inevitably catastrophic, even in “cold” countries like Canada and Finland. There is much confusion about this subject.

karst hydrology; global warming
