Welcome to Karstbase!

The KarstBase is a fully searchable online bibliography database of current literature on karstology and geospeleology. It currently contains 12969 references and dynamically growths. KarstBase fully covers 16 major karst and cave science journals (World Karst/Cave Science Journals) and indexes publications in the field from prime geoscience journals, books and conference proceedings. Where possible, links are provided to full-text PDFs of published articles (directly accessible where a source publication is an open access).

Registered members of the Speleogenesis Network can directly submit new references to KarstBase via its online submission system, and thus contribute to this resource.
