A review of quantitative techniques for measuring Karst terrain, with examples from the Caribbean

Karst terrain analysis can be divided into 'form' studies, in which classification and comparisons are the purpose, and 'process' studies, which are important for understanding the development of specific landforms. The purpose of many karst studies has been to understand the relationships between form and process. It is suggested that the description of karst forms using a morphometric approach is a prerequisite for understanding process, which implies that description of form is just as important as process studies in understanding the development of karst terrain. The morphometric approach involves a set of quantitative techniques that focus on the precise measurement of landscape or features. It has the advantage over a qualitative approach, of objectivity and descriptive statistical analysis. It has made morphoclimatic terminology obsolete by providing objective indices that can be used to distinguish features and landscapes. The explanation of the variance of karst topographic types has been made possible through mathematical modelling and in Caribbean karst research it has been instrumental in understanding lithological controls on karst feature development. This review summarises a number of the measures and indices which have facilitated karst research
