International Year of Caves and Karst (IYCK 2021)

The International Year of Caves and Karst (IYCK) is a campaign to educate the world about the many benefits that caves and karst provide to humanity. It also raises awareness about some of the challenges of living in karst areas, and how to overcome them. The IYCK is organized by the International Union of Speleology with the support of approximately 200 international partner organizations. Together, they are organizing hundreds of local and international events including lectures, workshops, exhibitions, books, conferences, news media meetings, the cleaning of caves and sinkholes, field trips, videos, research, and other activities. The Special Issue of Water on karst will help highlight the unique and complex hydrogeology of karst aquifers that hydrogeologists and water planners need to understand to sustainably use these groundwater systems. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the IYCK will be celebrated in 2022. More partners and events are always welcome.

The Water Special Issue "Geochemical Processes of Karst and Karst Paleoenvironments" will accept full papers addressing the following related topics:

karst landscapes; karst aquifers; rock–water interactions; karst soils; trace elements; emerging contaminants; biogeochemistry; soil and water contamination; lake sedimentary records; speleothem records; cave sediment; paleohydrology; stable isotopes
