The Dinaric Karst System of CroatiaSpeleology and Cave Exploration /[electronic resource] :by Mladen Garasic. - 1st ed. 2021. - XXV, 437 p. 449 illus., 445 illus. in color.online resource. - Cave and Karst Systems of the World,2364-4605. - Cave and Karst Systems of the World,.

Introduction to Karst and Geology of Croatia -- The Dinaric karst system in Croatia -- Underground karst morphology (speleology) -- Caves in Croatia - Caves in the central part of Dinaric karst -- Caverns found and explored during construction work in the Dinaric Karst of Croatia -- Caverns found and explored during construction of road tunnels in Istria and the Gorski kotar region -- Caverns found and explored during the construction of road tunnels in Lika and Dalmatia regions and the city of Rijeka -- Caverns found and explored during the construction of bridges, viaducts, roads and railroads -- Caverns found and explored during the construction of airports and in quarries -- Particularly interesting and rare occurrences in caves of the Dinaric Karst in Croatia -- Cave speleometry in the Dinaric Karst of Croatia -- Research Methods -- International activity of speleologists from Croatia -- .

This book offers readers a thorough introduction to the Dinaric Karst System in Croatia. As the first comprehensive book on the country’s caves and karst, it presents a wealth of fascinating photographs from its karst underground. To date, ca. 12,000 caves and pits have been confirmed in Croatia, approximately 35% of which contain constant groundwater. Knowing the amount, direction and quality of groundwater that has been discovered in caves of the Croatian karst allows us to predict with greater certainty the hydrogeological situation of some karst areas where no special drilling or borehole measurements were performed. In the process of building highways in the country’s karst regions over the last thirty years, thousands of caverns (speleological features without natural entrances) were discovered and thoroughly explored. All of them were geologically mapped, surveyed, and photographed in detail. Extensive research was systematically carried out in Croatian karst regions on sections of roads, highways, cuttings, slides, tunnels, bridge foundations, viaducts, etc., while creating ca. 800 kilometers of highways (such as the Zagreb-Rijeka highway, Zagreb-Split-Dubrovnik highway, Y-Ipsilon of Istria semi-highway, Rijeka-Rupa highway, Zagreb-Zadar semi-highway, and the Rijeka bypass). Some of these caverns contain major chambers like in the “Sveti Rok” tunnel and in some of them, like in the “Vrata” tunnel, it was even necessary to build a bridge. This bridge is the longest one in the world built in a tunnel over a cavern. The book describes this and many more features of the cave exploration of the Dinaric Karst System of Croatia, making it a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, cavers, and all other readers interested in karst.
