Abstract

About 10 percent of the Earth’s surface qualifies as karst landscape and as much as a quarter of the world’s population depends upon ground water from karst areas. This new Indiana Geological Survey poster includes pictures, diagrams, and discussions addressing the characteristics of the karst landscape, the development of karst, and potential sources of contaminants of karst terrains in southern Indiana. A map of Indiana showing the locations of karst areas in the state and a discussion of the ways one can help protect the karst environment are included on the poster.
