That concentration gradient is the change in solute concentration per unit distance in solute. concentration gradients cause fickian diffusion (spreading) of solutes from regions of highest to regions of lowest concentrations. in slowing moving ground water, this is the dominant mixing process [22].?

About Speleogenesis project

Speleogenesis.info is a non-profit platform aimed to integrate and promote efforts of the international community of cave and karst scholars in information exchange, communication and collaboration. Speleogenesis.info develops and maintains various networking and information resources (Speleogenesis Network), serving as a hub of collaborative activities of individual researchers and research institutions involved into karst and geospeleology studies. It also supports an online scientific journal, “Speleogenesis and Evolution of Karst Aquifers”, that brings together research on developments in geospeleology and karst science pertinent to the origin and evolution of dissolution caves and conduit permeability.

Editorial Board

The guidance for the journal and selection of papers to be published and highlighted in it is provided by twenty leading cave and karst scientists from 13 nations:

Publication Policy

The Speleogenesis and Evolution of Karst Aquifers journal publishes original research and review articles, comments and book reviews, but also re-publishes peer-selected articles from prime karst and cave journals and conference proceedings of a broader scope and features relevant publications from a wide range of the most valuable peer-reviewed geoscience journals.

Aims & Scope

Speleogenesis and Evolution of Karst Aquifers is an online scientific journal that brings together research on developments in geospeleology and karst science pertinent to the origin and development of dissolution caves and conduit permeability (speleogenesis).

Speleogenesis and Evolution of Karst Aquifers is a specialized umbrella journal that, in addition to publishing original research articles, re-publishes carefully selected articles from sister karst and cave journals of a broader scope and conference proceedings, and also indexes/highlights peer-selected relevant articles from a wide range of the most valuable peer-reviewed geoscience journals by providing citations/abstracts linked to original full-text resources.
