Seasonal Effects on the Geochemical Evolution of the Logsdon River, Mammoth Cave, Kentucky
… Spring drainage basin within the Mammoth Cave karst aquifer of south-central Kentucky. This spatial survey of nearly 10 km of continuous base-level conduit included seasonal sampling of carbon dioxide partial pressures (Pco2)> dissolved ions, and saturation indices for calcite (SIcal). The …

Geographic Information System Methodologies to Evaluate Relationships Between Land use and Groundwater Quality in South Central Kentucky
… for a holistic approach to the study of karst groundwater contamination. While karst groundwaters supply water to a large percentage of the earth's population, its complex environments often have lacked the scientific examination and conservation measures typical of non-karst regions. In …

Lithologic Controls on Karst Groundwater Flow, Lost River Groundwater Basin, Warren County, Kentucky
… Drainage Basin in Warren County, Kentucky, is a karst drainage system encompassing 55 square miles (143 square kilometers) developed within the Mississippian St. Louis and Ste. Genevieve Limestones. Near the contact between these two formations are two bedded chert units, the Lost River Chert Bed …

Karstification of the Pennyroyal Plain Behind the Retreating Chester Escarpment: Warren, Simpson & Logan Counties, Kentucky
… plain of south central Kentucky. The degree of karstification of five area streams was studied to develop an understanding of the evolution of drainage as the landscape changes from a sandstone caprock plateau to a limestone sinkhole plain. The Chester Upland, capped by the Big Clifty Sandstone, …

An Analysis of Base-Level Conduit Sedimentation in South Central Kentucky
In karst basins, significant amounts of surface-derived sediment can enter into cave systems. The transport and deposition of these sediments in underground streams is a function of flow velocity, sediment supply and passage morphology. Changes in the surface environment can affect the water and …

Hydrochemistry in an Alpine Karst System, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, California
… data from 2001 through 2003 from an alpine karst spring located at 2,500 m amsl in Sequoia National Park, California to reveal detailed chemical parameters of this karst system. The data show a system with a pronounced spring run-off, extended periods of base flow quiescence, storm responses …
