INTRODUCTION

This bibliography provides a handy list of some important, standard references on karst and cave geology. Most works are in English, and this is not an exhaustive bibliography on the subject; however, it serves as a key to works that in turn lead the researcher to additional material. The intent is to provide a selected list of primary sources to those who are relatively unfamiliar with karst research. This edition contains 124 citations and 6 journals.

Listings such as this one are inherently biased due to the background of the persons who compile them. Undoubtably many worthy publications have not been placed on this list. For this, we apologize, and hope that the presented list will be of use to those who view it.

The bibliography is arranged as follows:

  1. Textbooks on karst and speleology -- Monographs that introduce the principles of karstic landform development, the origin of caves, and the geomorphic, hydrologic, and geochemical processes of karst. Emphasis is placed on texts originally written in the English language or on foreign language books translated into English.

  2. Glossaries of karst terminology -- Dictionaries, lexicons, and other works that define terms applied to karstic features and processes. Several of these references list equivalent terms in several languages.

  3. Bibliographies and indices of karst literature -- Detailed bibliographic compilations and indices. These constitute the sources necessary to access the bulk of the karst literature, particularly the thousands of papers in journals, other serial publications, symposia proceedings, theses, and the like.

  4. Gazetteers, atlases, and maps -- Sources that place karst and caves in geographic context.

  5. Proceedings volumes and collected papers -- Significant monographs containing papers from conferences, meetings, and symposia that specifically address karstic phenomena. Principal English language volumes are incorporated in this listing.

  6. Classical papers on cavern development and karst -- References that are regarded as benchmark papers in the development of speleogenetic theory. These are frequently cited in subsequent papers on the subject.

  7. Reviews on cave origin and karst -- Papers that summarize, critique, and/or synthesize the cave or karst literature and provide an historical perspective to the development of speleology.

  8. Modern approaches and principles of cavern development -- A selected list of papers that, as a whole, typify current views on speleogenesis. Several of the papers discuss caves at specific locations or regions, but their inclusion herein reflects that they have a much broader application and are now considered as key references on speleology.

  9. Journals on karst and speleology -- A list of journals that regularly contain technical papers on karst, specialize in karst, or serve as newsletters or reviews on karst research.
