About this book
This book presents (i) a comprehensive methodological approach in analyzing karst surface features using contemporary GIS tools of high resolution applied on a large study area and extensive dataset, (ii) a revision and evaluation of the existing concepts valid in the modern karst geomorphology, (iii) a detailed elaboration of overlooked and yet undefined karst surface features, and (iv) an innovation in the discussion on origin and evolution of karst surface features. The book contains the first example of such comprehensive application of the modern technologies in spatial analysis in the field of karst geomorphology, and it offers several new methodological and theoretical perspectives and presents numerous starting points for further research. It contributes both to the understanding of the local karst evolution and to the knowledge of karst surface features globally.

About the author
Dr. Ela Šegina took the degree in geography at the University of Primorska and graduated in coastal geomorphology and GIS in 2012. Her diploma thesis was awarded by the University of Primorska (Srečko Kosovel award). During her studies, she participated at the Erasmus student exchange at the Faculty for mathematics, physics and environmental sciences at the University of Sassari, Italy. She did the training at the National Marine Biological Station in Slovenia and the Erasmus training at the University of Malta. Between the years 2012 and 2016, she did the voluntary work at the international NGO CIPRA Slovenia. In 2013, she was awarded by the Society for Conservation GIS, USA, where she participated in the intensive GIS training in USA and Russia. She received her Ph.D. in Karstology at the University of Nova Gorica, Slovenia, in karst geomorphology and GIS. Her thesis Holistic spatial analysis of karst on Krk Island was international research in the cooperation with the University of Civil Engineering Rijeka, Croatia, and Karst research institute Postojna, Slovenia. From 2019 onward, she is employed as a Research Assistant at the Geological Survey of Slovenia, where she continues her research in karstology, GIS and geohazard. She has published several scientific papers in international scientific journals.
