The 2004 session on karst was published as a special issue of NHESS (Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences), while we are working to produce a Special Volume of the Geological Society of London which will present the contributions of the 2005 session.
As in the last years, it the intention to publish a selection of the session papers in a special issue of an international, peer reviewed journal.
