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 evolution of dissolution caves and conduit permeability (speleogenesis). Speleogenesis is a primary process that determines most essential features of hydrogeology of soluble rocks and guides evolution of karst in many ways, so that the evolution of karst in general and karst aquifers in particular are also within the scope of the journal.
The general aim of the journal is to foster speleogenesis and karst hydrogeology studies by highlighting the most essential recent advances in the field, disseminated in a vast array of literature, and facilitating access to them.
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.
