Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) to conduct gives karst landscape its specific characteristics including the
analyses on a range of samples often encountered in global distribution. Issues pertaining karst area such as
geochemistry, hydrogeology and organic geochemistry. sinkholes and rockfalls, and engineering problems associated
with karst are emphasized. Geochemistry of karst waters are
Assessment Methods: studied in conjunction with environmental issues. Karst
Continuous assessment : 100% landscape and deposit are used to examine for the evidence of
environmental and climatic change. Case studies are used
Medium of Instruction: throughout the course and emphasis is placed on the challenges
English faced by people living in karst areas and conservation value of
karst landscapes.
