Karst is a topography formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. It is characterized by underground drainage systems with sinkholes and caves.

In the early days of planning of the international Square Kilometre Array (SKA) during the 1990s, the Chinese delegation vied to host the SKA, proposing to build several large dishes in the natural limestone depressions (karsts) that dimple its southwestern provinces, and called the proposal Kilometer-square Area Radio Synthesis Telescope (KARST).

Karst
.jpg?width=120)
Karst is a topography formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. It is characterized by underground drainage systems with sinkholes and caves. It has also been documented for more weathering-resistant rocks, such as quartzite, given the right conditions. Subterranean drainage may limit surface water, with few to no rivers or lakes. However, in regions where the dissolved bedrock is covered (perhaps by debris) or confined by one or more superimposed non-soluble rock strata, distinctive karst features may occur only at subsurface levels and can be totally missing above ground.
The study of paleokarst (buried karst in the stratigraphic column) is important in petroleum geology because as much as 50% of the world's hydrocarbon reserves are hosted in carbonate rock, and much of this is found in porous karst systems.
Examples of use of karst
1. The Isonzo flows from the Julian Alps to the Adriatic Sea, traversing the forbidding Karst.
2. It has the most stalactites and stalagmites of any of the known karst (porous limestone) caves in the Galilee.
3. "It‘s a beautiful anomaly," added Penny Boston, a New Mexico Tech professor and associate director of the National Cave and Karst Research Institute.
4. The most important and largest karst area in Turkey is found in the region around the Taurus Mountains, considered an extension of the Alps in Anatolia.
5. We had just flown into Guilin, land of jagged karst peaks and misty vistas in Gaungxi Zhang Autonomous Region, south China, on a three–night package tour.
