dc.description.abstract | <p> Gypsum karst areas in British Columbia and Wood Buffalo National Park, Alta.-N.W.T. are described. Investigation of the geo-hydrology of these areas, particularly specifically the saturation states of rising waters, is demonstrated to be a valuable tool in defining the major geomorphic processes acting. The combination of thermo-dynamic equilibrium studies of the gypsum and limestone processes serves to define zones within which the dominant controls of rock solution can be inferred.</p> <p> The commonly accepted parameters of limestone solution equilibria (Picknett's curves) are examined and shown to be incorrect. Use of the parameters and indices presented in this thesis gives much better accordance with observed characteristics of karst waters. </p> | en_US |
