Australian caves and karst systems
Australian caves and karst systems[electronic resource] /edited by John Webb, Susan White, Garry K. Smith. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2023. - xii, 398 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Cave and karst systems of the world,2364-4605. - Cave and karst systems of the world..

Introduction -- Part 1- People and Caves in Australia -- Part 2 - 'Hard' rock karst developed in Neoproterozoic and Palaeozoic carbonates -- Part 3 - 'Soft' rock karst developed in Tertiary and Quaternary limestones -- Part 4 - Pseudokarst -- Part 5 - Cave contents.

This book, part of the series Cave and Karst Systems of the World, begins with a review of the interaction between people and caves in Australia (including conservation), followed by descriptions of the spectacular cave diving sites, before comprehensively covering all the major carbonate and noncarbonate karst areas, subdivided by rock type and region, and including the origin of the caves. This is followed by broad overviews of cave minerals and speleothems, cave biology and cave fossils. Each section was written by one or more specialists in the topic and is illustrated by clear diagrams and superb colour photos. The book emphasises the unique aspects of the Australian karst, including the variability in the age of the caves (very old to very young) and the impact of isolation on the stygofauna, as well as the vertebrate fossils preserved in the caves. Written in an easy-to-read style, the book is a primary reference guide to Australian karst and represents a valuable asset for anyone interested in the topic, not only cavers and academics.
