| Introduction to the Karst Dynamics Laboratory, MLR |
|
Main Objectives2.1 To further reveal the mechanisms of physical, chemical and biological controls on karst processes, and establish relevant physical and mathematical models; 2.2 To reconstruct, with high resolution, the environmental change in South China since 200,000 B.P.; 2.3 To evaluate quantitatively the role of karst processes in the source and sink of global green-house gas; 2.4 To develop the karst hydrodynamic model with three dimensions and nonlinear flow, and solve problems in exploiting and harnessing karst water; 2.5 To study the mechanisms of karst cave development and karst collapses; 2.6 To understand the running processes of karst ecologic system, and to seek the approach to control and rehabilitate karst rocky desert.
