Karst Activity
This discussion of karst in relation to global change indications offers an explanation of the various methods of measurements and locations for measurement, information about the effects of human activities, and what we can learn from the study of karst. After a discussion of thresholds, the conclusion is that karst landscapes are particularly dynamic and subject to rapid change. They preserve a valuable record of environmental change, and should be monitored closely for their effect on human settlements and built structures.
