We present a discussion of the state-of-the art on modelling geometrical characteristics,
hydrogeological behavior and geochemical evolution of karst aquifers of meteoric origin …

Deuterium (δD) and oxygen (δ 18 O) isotopes are powerful tracers of the hydrological cycle
and have been extensively used for paleoclimate reconstructions as they can provide …

Transport of nitrogen (N) in karst areas is more complex than in non-karst areas due to
marked heterogeneity of hydrodynamic behaviour in the karst critical zone. Here, we present …

Thermal patterns of karst springs and cave streams provide potentially useful information
concerning aquifer geometry and recharge. Temperature monitoring at 25 springs and cave …

Groundwater vulnerability mapping is one of the tools most often applied to analyse the
sensitivity of karst aquifers to pollution. These maps aim to support stakeholders in decision …

Abstract Nitrate (NO 3⁻) fate estimates in turbulent karst pathways are lacking due, in part, to
the difficulty of accessing remote subsurface environments. To address this knowledge and …

In groundwater management, the determination of the origins of nitrate (NO 3–) endmember
sources is the first step in improving the management over a hydrogeological catchment …

Integration of the abundant information derived from different sources, characterizing
techniques and modeling methodologies, is crucial for extending our knowledge of karst …

Abstract Analysis of natural responses of karst springs provides information on the behavior
of the aquifers they drain. Detailed monitoring and qualitative and quantitative analyses of …

Abstract Study region Bell Harbour. A sub-catchment of karst landscape, the Burren, in
Western Ireland. Study focus Bell Harbour is difficult to investigate using traditional …
