The role of karst in engineering and environmental geosciences
Department of Geosciences, Mississippi State University, USA
Abstract. Karst is a unique landform developed by soluble rock. It usually relates to groundwater drainage system, and provides important water resources. Current researches indicate that karst is closely related to the earth system and environmental protection, and it can also create potential natural hazard such as sinkhole flooding and land subsidence in urban area. Its relationship with hydrogeology has also been an important factor for studying water pollution, and nutrient cycles on engineering geosciences and agricultural geology.
