Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Geologic Monitoring is a practical, nontechnical guide for land managers, educators, and the public that synthesizes representative methods for monitoring short-term and long-term change in geologic features and landscapes. A prestigious group of subject-matter experts has carefully selected methods for monitoring sand dunes, caves and karst, rivers, geothermal features, glaciers, nearshore marine features, beaches and marshes, paleontological resources, permafrost, seismic activity, slope movements, and volcanic features and processes. Each chapter has an overview of the resource; summarizes features that could be monitored; describes methods for monitoring each feature ranging from low-cost, low-technology methods (that could be used for school groups) to higher cost, detailed monitoring methods requiring a high level of expertise; and presents one or more targeted case studies."--Publisher's description.

Book excerpt: "Nearly 25% of the world's population lives in karst areas -- landscapes that are characterized by sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage. Living with Karst, the 4th booklet in the AGI Environmental Awareness Series, vividly illustrates what karst is and why these resource-rich areas are important. The booklet also discusses karst-related environmental and engineering concerns, guidelines for living with karst, and sources of additional information."--Provided by publisher.

The plan contains specific rules, regulations, and protocols designed to protect resources while still providing as much as possible for visitor enjoyment. The management plan outlines procedures for the systematic inventory, mapping, and assessment of cave resources, classification, and permit issuance. This plan recognizes visitor use demands and strives to adress all levels of recreational use, research, education, and public safety"--Page 1.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing specifically on the management of karst environments, this volume draws together the world’s leading karst experts to provide a vital source for the study and management of this unique physical setting. Although karst landscapes cover 12% of the Earth’s terrain and provide 25% of the world’s drinking water, the resource management of karst environments has only previously received indirect attention. Through a comprehensive approach, Karst Management focuses on engineering issues associated with surface karst such as quarries, dams, and agriculture, subsurface topics such as the management of groundwater, show caves, cave biota, and geo-archaeology projects. Chapters that focus on karst as an integrated system look at IUCN World Heritage sites, national parks, policy and regulation, measuring systematic disturbance, information management, and public environmental education. The text incorporates the most up-to-date research from leading karst scientists. This volume provides important perspectives for university students, educators, geoengineers, resource managers, and planners who are interested in or work with this unique physical landscape.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from National Cave and Karst Research Institute Study: A Draft Report to Congress as Required by Public Law 101-578 of November 15, 1990 In Public Law 101-578, of November 15, 1990, Congress further directed that the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Director of the National Park Service, establish and administer a Cave Research Program; and that the National Park Service prepare a proposal for Congress that examines the feasibility of a centralized National Cave and Karst Research Institute (n cri), associated with an existing Cave and Karst Research Program already established by the National Park Service, and that this study, prepared in cooperation with other Federal cave-managing agencies, cave-related organizations, cave experts, and interested individuals, develop specific concepts for the nature, scope, role, programs, management, and operational needs of such an Institute. The study states as goals for the Institute the furtherance of the science of speleology; centralization and standardization of speleological information; interdisciplinary cooperation in cave and karst research programs to foster research; education; promotion of national and international cooperation in environmental considerations for the protection of cave and karst landforms; and promotion of environmentally sound.
