Chapter 1General Description of Karst

Veress, Márton

Pages: 1 –21

[The chapter presents the characteristics of karst, karst hydrology, mor‑phology and typology. In the hydrological overview, karst water zones are identified and described; surface karst features (karren, dolines, poljes, etc.) are defined broken down to their main varieties with their brief...

Chapter 2Study Areas

Veress, Márton

Pages: 23 –63

[This chapter presents the locations where investigations and observations were made. The following karst regions studied in detail are described: Aggtelek Karst, Asiago Plateau, Bakony Mountains, Bükk Mountains, Durmitor, Northern Limestone Alps, Madagascar, Mecsek Mountains and Pádis plateau....

Chapter 3Methods

Veress, Márton

Pages: 65 –95

[This chapter presents the goals and descriptions of the investigations per‑formed and the description of the sites of field studies. Methods included morphometric analyses, study of bedrock structure for karst features, mapping (topographic, karst morphological, denudational), aerial imaging,...

Chapter 4Classification of Covered Karsts

Veress, Márton

Pages: 97 –205

[Covered karsts are classified according to the character of the cover (cryptokarst if the cover is impermeable and concealed karst if it is permeable), to the origin of cover deposits (locally deposited or transported there) and to the age of karstification (syngenetic if the depression in the...

Chapter 5Covered Karst Landforms

Veress, Márton

Pages: 207 –312

[The landforms of covered karst, originated in cryptokarst or concealed karst environment, are presented. Cryptokarst landforms include caprock dolines, ponors, blind valleys, epigenetic valleys and remnant caves. Typical concealed karst landforms are subsidence dolines, closed gullies (blind...

Chapter 6Covered Karst Processes

Veress, Márton

Pages: 313 –375

[In this chapter the activity and processes related to covered karst depressions, particularly during floods, the associated phenomena and deposition are demonstrated. The reasons for activity are taken into account. Activities are typified by character and modes of water inflow. The phenomena...

Chapter 7Landform Evolution and Development

Veress, Márton

Pages: 377 –494

[In this chapter, the development and further evolution of subsoil karren, caprock dolines, subsidence dolines, ponors, DSDs and remnant caves are represented. For the above landforms and their varieties, the influencing geological, morphological and hydrological conditions are presented, and the...

Chapter 8Evolution of Covered Karst Surfaces

Veress, Márton

Pages: 495 –518

[This chapter presents the evolution of covered karst surfaces. On karsts which develop from bare karst into covered karst, geomorphic evolution (increasing or decreasing extension of the covered karst) depends on the ratio between the inward transport of cover upon the karst and outward...
