Modelling cockpit karst landforms
The purpose of this article is to present a model of the formation processes of cockpit karst landscapes. The CHILD software was used to simulate landscape evolution including dissolution processes of carbonate rocks. After examining briefly how the CHILD model operates, two applications of this model involving dissolution of carbonate rocks are presented. The simulated landscapes are compared ...
متن کاملA model of cockpit karst landscape, Jamaica Modélisation d’un paysage de karst de type cockpit (Jamaïque)
This paper deals with a landscape evolution model to compute cockpit karsts landforms. The CHILD model is used to model geomorphic processes at regional scale. After examining briefly CHILD’s principles and equations of limestone dissolution processes, the denudation model is detailed. The relation between subcutaneous dissolution and denudation of the topography is introduced by means of an em...

متن کاملThe use of GIS-based digital morphometric techniques in the study of cockpit karst
Cockpit karst landscapes are among the most distinctive landscapes in the world, and have been the focus of long-standing scientific interest. Early researchers used largely descriptive techniques to categorize the terrain, and subsequent work has not attempted to critically re-evaluate descriptions of landscapes using more sophisticated methods. The distinctive surface topography of cockpit ka...
متن کاملSPATIAL MODELLING IN THE KARST BIOCLIMATOLOGY Primjena
The possibilities of the raster-GlS topoclimatic modelling and its applicability in the Karst bioclimatology have been generally presented. The short descriptions of the particular models derived from the digital elevation model include: terrain slope, relative terrain orientation, terrain curvature, direct and diffuse insolation, altitude in the sinkhole, flow accumulation and exposure to wind...
