泰国岩溶地质概述

Overview on karst geological of Thailand

泰国岩溶分布面积约占其国土面积的20%,发育典型的热带岩溶地貌,是热带岩溶的典范。文章通过系统收集分析泰国的地质、水文地质、地貌、洞穴等信息资料,重点研究泰国岩溶作用的地质、水文气候背景,概括泰国主要发育的岩溶地貌类型,总结出泰国岩溶分布规律、岩溶区的资源现状及面临的生态环境问题,为建立“全球岩溶信息平台”提供基础支撑。

The karst in Thailand,a typical representation of tropical karst landform,is widespread and covers 20%of the total area of this country.In this study,we systematically collect karst geological information and care⁃fully study the geological,hydrological and climatic background of karstification in order to summarize the charac⁃teristics of karst landscape,the status quo of karst resources and the environmental geological problems in three major karst areas in Thailand.The research findings provide basic support for the establishment of“Global Plat⁃form of Karst Information”.
