Porosity development in marble stripe karst

Karst voids are generally formed through dissolution of the host rock by meteoric or thermal water, resulting in localised porosity (caves). Caves are targets for groundwater, mineralization and petroleum, so the understanding how various cave geometries are formed, and under what circumstances, ...
