Book Description
V monografiji je natančno opisana kvantitativna metodologija za merjenje recentnih sub-mikronskih intenzitet temeljnih kemičnih kraških procesov (raztapljanja in odlaganja sige) in podaja rezultate 7-letnega merjenja kemičnih procesov v izbranih slovenskih vodnih jamah. Podrobneje so prikazani rezultati meritev iz nekaterih večjih slovenskih jam, kot so Križna jama, Postojnsko-Planinski jamski sistem in Škocjanske jame, kjer dobimo vpogled tudi v časovno in prostorsko dinamiko širjenja rovov na ravni posameznih jamskih sistemov. Meritve so edinstvene v slovenskem prostoru, pa tudi širše v okviru svetovnega krasoslovja, saj predstavljajo velik kvantitativni premik v okviru kraške geomorfologije.

Book Description
The Carpatho-Balkan Geomorphological Commission and the International Association of Geomorphologists (IAG) Carpatho-Balkan-Dinaric Regional Working Group, promote networking between researchers and the exchange of research experience. Following a brief introduction into the geology, climate, hydrology and land cover of the Carpatho-Balkan-Dinaric region, the book provides detailed information on research applying both traditional and innovative techniques and summarizes contemporary knowledge on recent geomorphic processes. It also presents studies of exogenic geomorphic processes from each country. The chapters on Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, Hungary, Romania, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Macedonia examine the geomorphic processes in shaping the topography of each country. This volume also examines key geomorphic processes influencing land use and economic activities as well as contributions discussing processes under climate change.
Cave Exploration in Slovenia

Book Description
This book focuses on the opening and exploration of more than 350 previously undiscovered caves of the Slovenian Karst, discovered during motorway construction work. The summarizes the planning of traffic roads and presents the new findings obtained during construction, as well as studies on newly-discovered karst phenomena and karst waters and their protection. Earthmoving work during construction has revealed a cross-section of the surface of the Classical Karst, covered karst with famous underground stone forests and unique karst in breccia. Research conducted in these caves has yielded a number of new findings on how the karst surface and underground were formed, on the flow of water through karst aquifers, and on the evolution of karst on various types of rock and under various conditions. The work was written by researchers from the ZRC SAZU Karst Research Institute and the Institute of Geology AS CR. The reader will benefit from the authors’ collaboration with planners and builders, which offers valuable insights for the planning and execution of their own activities in karst regions.

Book Description
V knjigi Incomplete Solution: Weathering of Cave Walls and the Production, Transport and Deposition of Carbonate Fines (Nepopolno raztapljanje: preperevanje jamskih sten in nastajanje, transport in odlaganje karbonatnih delcev) je prikazano preperevanje sten jamskih rovov na krasu. Predstavljeno je dogajanje v apnencih in dolomitih med raztapljanjem, kakšno je to raztapljanje in zakaj se kamnine ne raztopijo popolnoma.

Book Description
Dejavniki, ki oblikujejo kraško podzemlje, zapuščajo sledi tudi na skalnem obodu kraških votlin. Nastajajo skalne oblike, ki jih povezujemo v skalni relief. Ta je pogosto pomembna sled oblikovanja in razvoja kraških votlin. V knjigi (Jamski skalni relief in njegov speleogenetski pomen) so strnjena proučevanja o nastanku in razvoju najbolj značilnih jamskih skalnih oblik. Predstavljen je skalni relief kot sled načina oblikovanja rovov v različnih hidroloških pogojih ter njegov speleogenetski pomen v razvojno raznovrstnih jamah. Delo tudi na novo ovrednoti speleogenetski pomen skalnega reliefa v izbranih predelih slovenskega krasa. Celotno besedilo je objavljeno v angleškem jeziku, na koncu knjige je dodan obsežen slovenski povzetek.

Book Description
Originally published in 1989, Karst Geomorphology and Hydrology became the leading textbook on karst studies. This new textbook has been substantially revised and updated. The first half of the book is a systematic presentation of the dissolution kinetics, chemical equilibria and physical flow laws relating to karst environments. It includes details of the many environmental factors that complicate their chemical evolution, with a critique of measurement of karst erosion rates. The second half of the book looks at the classification system for cave systems and the influence of climate and climatic change on karst development. The book ends with chapters on karst water resource management and a look at the important issues of environmental management, including environmental impact assessment, environmental rehabilitation, tourism impacts and conservation values. Practical application of karst studies are explained throughout the text. "This new edition strengthens the book's position as the essential reference in the field. Karst geoscientists will not dare to stray beyond arm's reach of this volume. It is certain to remain the professional standard for many decades." Journal of Cave and Karst Studies, August 2007
