Abstract

Karst evolution in its dimensions of space and time depends on the dissolution kinetics of limestone. The time needed to excavate conduits by solutional removal of limestone depends on the rates of dissolution. The length of these flow conduits is determined by the distance calcite-aggressive water can travel until it becomes saturated. This penetration distance is related to the velocity of flow and also to the kinetics of dissolution.
