Cooling of hydrothermal fluids rich in carbon dioxide can create large karst cave systems in carbonate rocks
Abstract Karst systems, comprising interconnected voids and caves, are ubiquitous in carbonate formations and play a pivotal role in the global water supply. Accumulating evidence suggests that a significant portion of the global karst is hypogenic, formed via rock dissolution by groundwater ascendi...
