Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Encyclopedia of Caves, Third Edition, provides detailed background information to anyone with a serious interest in caves. This includes students, both undergraduate and graduate, in the earth, biological and environmental sciences, and consultants, environmental scientists, land managers and government agency staff whose work requires them to know something about caves and the biota that inhabit them. Caves touch on many scientific interests in geology, climate science, biology, hydrology, archaeology, and paleontology, as well as more popular interests in sport caving and cave exploration. Case studies and descriptions of specific caves selected for their special features and public interest are also included. This book will appeal to these audiences by providing in-depth essays written by expert authors chosen for their expertise in their assigned subject. - Features 14 new chapters and 13 completely rewritten chapters - Contains beautifully illustrated content, with more than 500 color images of cave life and features - Provides extensive bibliographies that allow readers to access their subject of interest in greater depth

Download or read book Evaluation of Volume Determinations for Modern Hypogene Karst Voids San Salvador Island Bahamas written by Kyle C. Blauvelt and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the effect of data density on the calculation of cave passage volume for hypogene flank margin caves. Four cave passages on San Salvador, Bahamas, were surveyed using a high density, radial-surveying technique. The data sets were used to calculate cross-sectional areas of passages at multiple locations along a survey transects. Using the entire data set, total passage volumes were computed and then compared to reduced data sets to characterize the effect morphology had on area and volume determinations. Three cave passages were measured using 17 survey stations per transect and one passage was measured with 33 survey stations. Adjacent stations divide the passage into slabs. Summing the volume of the slabs yields total passage volume. A total of 2,688 measurements were taken in the four passages. The measurements were used in a series of analyses to study the errors associated with employing depleted data sets of 4, 8, and 16-point radial data sets to calculate area and total passage volume. These errors were then correlated with certain morphological traits common throughout the passages. Longitudinal data points (entire survey stations) were also depleted to study the effect this had on calculating total volume. The data reveals highly inaccurate area and slab volume values using depleted data sets and the sector method. Volume errors as high as 400% were present using 4 and 8-point radial data sets. Not until data sets of at least 16-points were employed, did the range in error decrease to within 50% difference. This indicates that hypogenic flank margin cave passages require high density data sets to accurately characterize their void space. This is in contrast to findings from epigene caves. Previous research in epigene caves suggest that the 4-point method and sector technique may be adequate for certain surveys. One similarity seen between epigene and hypogene data was the relative importance of radial data over longitudinal data. Both types of caves show larger errors in calculated volume when radial data points are depleted rather than depleting entire survey stations. The experiment also examined shapes other than the sector method for modeling cross-sectional area. Using a rectangle, cross-sectional area and total passage volume are reduced to within 60%. All three alternative models return errors less than 70%. These shapes are more accurate than the sector technique in calculating cross-sectional area, and therefore, total passage volume. Alternative shapes for modeling cross-sectional area allow the flexibility to selectively choose a model based on specific projects. The original sector technique should not be regarded as inadequate or inaccurate, but rather as not appropriate for every type of survey or project. These advances in modeling techniques improve our understanding of mega-porosity and subsurface void space.
Download or read book Hypogene Karst Regions and Caves of the World written by Alexander Klimchouk and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-17 with total page 903 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illustrates the diversity of hypogene speleogenetic processes and void-conduit patterns depending on variations of the geological environments by presenting regional and cave-specific case studies. The cases include both well-known and newly recognized hypogene karst regions and caves of the world. They all focus on geological, hydrogeological, geodynamical and evolutionary contexts of hypogene speleogenesis. The last decade has witnessed the boost in recognition of the possibility, global occurrence, and practical importance of hypogene karstification (speleogenesis), i.e. the development of solutional porosity and permeability by upwelling flow, independent of recharge from the overlying or immediately adjacent surface. Hypogene karst has been identified and documented in many regions where it was previously overlooked or misinterpreted. The book enriches the basis for generalization and categorization of hypogene karst and thus improves our ability to adequately model hypogene karstification and predict related porosity and permeability. It is a book which benefits every researcher, student, and practitioner dealing with karst.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbonate rock coasts are found world-wide, from continental shorelines of the Adriatic Sea of Europe to the Yucatan Peninsula of North America, and on tropical islands from Rodrigues Island in the Indian Ocean, to the Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean, to the Bahama Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. Such coasts are well known for their unusual and distinctive karst landforms. Karst processes, particularly those associated with coastal landforms, are proving to be surprisingly unique and complex. This volume presents a comprehensive overview of the processes associated with coastal karst development comparing examples from a broad geographical and geomorphological range of island and continental shoreline/paleoshoreline settings, including a review of pseudokarst processes that can compete with and overprint dynamic coastal karst landscapes. As effective management of hydrologic resources grows more complex, coastal caves and karst represent fundamental components in associated coastal aquifers, which in the rock record can also form significant petroleum reservoirs. Audience By providing a clearer understanding of the geological, biological, archaeological and cultural value of coastal caves and karst resources, this volume offers a critical tool to coastal researchers and geoscientists in related fields and to coastal land managers as it illustrates the diversity of coastal karst landforms, the unique processes which formed them, the diversity of resources they harbor and their relationship to coastal zone preservation strategies and the development of sustainable management approaches.
