This book covers advances in the field of karst from a variety of perspectives to facilitate knowledge and promote interaction between disciplines. New methods are addressed that advance data collection, analysis, and interpretation in a wide range of karst contexts. Case studies are presented to provide examples of advancing science. Issues addressed include karst hydrogeology (water resources assessment, groundwater pollution and protection), methods to study karst aquifers (based on hydrodynamic, hydrochemistry, isotopes, dye tracing, geophysical surveys, and modeling techniques), karst geomorphology and landscape, mining and engineering in karst media (tunnels, dams, etc.), and karst cavities (touristic caves, natural heritage). This book is a resource for scientists around the world to compare problems, results, and solutions. Likewise, the examples included are used in policy decision making in karst regions. Finally, the contributions are used as a tool for university teaching.
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.

WATER RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT provides a detailed introduction to the full range of advanced, multidisciplinary techniques used in the study of water resources from understanding individual aquifers to the protection and management of water in a sustainable way, compatible with the preservation of the environment. Based on a masters course from UNESCO’s International Hydrological Program, this textbook is accompanied by color figures and graphics, illustrating clearly the content of the text and showing real examples from the field. Each chapter also contains a list of exercises and practical activities as well as case studies.

This volume covers major advances in the study of the geomorphology, hydrology, engineering geology and management of these specialized and fragile environments. The book will be valuable for geologists, engineers and geophysicists interested in karst, along with land planners, developers, and managers of show caves, natural parks and reserves in karst areas.
This book presents the latest advances in the field of karst hydrogeology and carbonate reservoirs. These include, but are not limited to: geomorphology of karst, flow and solute transport in karst; innovative metrology; modelling; speleogenesis and geology of carbonate reservoirs; deep reservoir exploration and production; water management and protection in karst environments; contaminant migration and chemical behavior; hydrochemistry and regional aquifer studies. EuroKarst offers a platform for professional exchanges between field practitioners and academic researchers. It is the European biennial conference on the hydrogeology of karst and carbonate reservoirs. It is organized every two years by the Universities of Neuchâtel (Switzerland), Besançon (France), and Malaga (Spain).
Knjiga je zasnovana kot zbirka prispevkov o znanstvenicah, ki so svojo znanstveno disciplino premaknile »korak naprej«. S tem imamo v mislih raziskovalke, profesorice, inovatorke, avtorice pomembnega znanstvenega preboja ali odkritja, patenta, ali pa znanstvenice, ki so v svoje znanstveno področje uvedle novo prakso in metodologijo, ustanovile inštitut oziroma oddelek, ali pa vzpostavile pogoje za razvoj novih znanstvenih disciplin. Profesionalne biografije 27 žensk predstavljenih v tej knjigi odkrijejo veliko več plasti tega kaj ukavrjanje z znanostjo dejansko zaobjema. Znanstveni prispevek žensk je prikazan skozi zgodbe o njihovem delu in življenju, ker profesionalno/javno nikoli ni ločeno od zasebnega/intimnega. Vprašanje kdo raziskuje nikoli ni ločeno od tega kaj oz. kateri predmet raziskuje in kako to počne. Eseji pripovedujejo zgodbo tudi o širšem družbenem prispevku, ki so ga znanstvenice pustile za sabo, ki gre bistveno onkraj ozko razumljenega znanstvenega dela. Tako knjiga želi prispevati tudi spreminjanju razumevanja kaj znanost je, kot proces ustvarjanja vednosti in znanja, kot človeško delo, družbena praksa in poslanstvo.
