Andreychouk V., Dublyansky Y., Ezhov Y., Lysenin G. / Eds. Andrzej T. Jankowski. - Sosnowiec - Simferopol: University of Silesia and Ukrainian Institute of Speleology and Karstology. 2009. -72p.Some problems in theoretical karst science (‘karstology’) are considered. An attempt is made to match the fundamentals of karstology with recent ideas on the structure of the lithosphere and the vertical zonation of the hydrosphere. Boundary conditions of karstogenesis and karst zoning are discussed. The boundaries and the structure of the karstosphere, as well as the place of karst among other geological processes are defined.
The book will be of interest for karstologists, hydrogeologists, geologists and geographers.
