Speleothems (mineral deposits that formed in caves) are currently giving us some of the most exciting insights into environments and climates during the Pleistocene ice ages and the subsequent Holocene rise of civilizations. The book applies system science to Quaternary environments in a new and rigorous way and gives holistic explanations the relations between the properties of speleothems and the climatic and cave setting in which they are found. It is designed as the ideal companion to someone embarking on speleothem research and, since the underlying science is very broad, it will also be invaluable to a wide variety of others. Students and professional scientists interested in carbonate rocks, karst hydrogeology, climatology, aqueous geochemistry, carbonate geochemistry and the calibration of climatic proxies will find up-to-date reviews of these topics here. The book will also be valuable to Quaternary scientists who, up to now, have lacked a thorough overview of these important archives.

This book is mainly concerned with the geomorphological aspects of caves - karst hydrology, speleogenesis and the origin of speleothems. Cave exploration was a necessary prerequisite for such studies and its progress is traced from prehistoric times to the systematic regional investigations of the 1 7th century and later. The first extensive work was in Slovenia, stimulated by the practical importance there of karst hydrology for water supply and flood control. Large karst springs had long attracted attention and several hypotheses had already been advanced; according to some they were supplied by water raised from the sea, others explained them by condensation and finally their source as rainfall was accepted. The study of intermittent karst lakes led eventually to the postulation of what amounted to a water table.A true understanding of speleogenesis and the origin of speleothems depended on a knowledge of the chemistry of limestone solution, which in its tum depended on the rejection of phlogiston at the end of the 18th century. Before that time only mechanical erosion was normally conceived as a means of removing particles of solid rock and subsequently redepositing them to form speleothems, although a few people earlier in the century had involved an unspecified "aerial acid". There were also several more primitive theories including the formation of caves by tectonic "catastrophes", by erosion as the water of Noah's Flood drained back underground, and the inflation of cavities in still soft limestone by decomposition gases. For many years speleothems were thought to possess a low form of life, growinglike plants rather than by accretion.After the action of carbon dioxide in speleogenesis was appreciated a new question arose - whether caves could be formed in the saturated zone or whether they were due solely to vadose water. For many years the problem was not recognised but violent controversy was taking place over it by the end of the 19th century.

The present publication on karst hydrology and physical speleology combines two subjects which have up to now been treated separately. The two fields of knowledge have gone their separate ways, less as a result of differences in subject matter than of varying approaches. The focal point in karst hydrology lies in the description of subter ranean water with its physical and chemical properties, whereas physical speleology de scribes subterranean cavities with their contents (air, water, and sediments), which gen erally have been created by water. Such cavities can be correctly interpreted only by means of a knowledge of karst hydrology, yet they in turn yield indications of the pro perties of karst water. Karst hydrology and physical speleology are thus two aspects of the subterranean karst phenomenon and should be viewed congruently. This book addresses geologists, hydrologists, geomorphologists, geographers, and karstologists, above all speleologists, as well as all friends of caves, especially the cavers among them. Its contents must therefore appeal to two groups: on one hand to the academically trained, whether university faculty, graduates, or students, who as a rule have the necessary basic knowledge to be able to understand the theoretical com ments; on the other hand to the laymen, who have fust-hand experience from their own observations in caves, but who often do not dispose over the scientific foundation necessary for an understanding of the phenomena. Therefore occasionally more attention will be given to problems of a simpler nature and to questions of technical terminology.
