Editorial Reviews

The keynote paper is on land use and carbonate island karst. The other 65 papers consider such topics as a preliminary assessment of the role of suckwells in karst water resources, the Pennsylvania sinkhole inventory, research in Romania, controlling naturally occurring brine springs and seeps in an evaporite karst setting, laboratory testing of a system to treat highway stormwater in karst areas, deep zone karst aquifers as a boon in central India, delineating a sinkhole boundary using Dutch cone soundings, modeling a cave ecosystem, a feasibility study of detecting caves using seismic surface waves, and limestone ordinances of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. A field guide to karst areas in Missouri is also included. No subject index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
