This book discusses the geology, hydrogeology,Â and water quality/geochemistry of karst systems in geologically young terrain, using the state of Florida as an example. Also discussed are sinkhole-development models; sinkholeÂ risk; eogenetic karst features developed in rocks as young as 125,000 years and as old as 65 million years; and karstÂ landscapes of Florida, including regional geology and geomorphology with important examples of karstÂ features, such as springs, sinkholes, caves, and other karst landforms. The eogenetic karst of Florida is largely covered and this book extensively discusses the interactions of karst processes with sand- and clay-rich cover materials.Â Â
