A few words about TAK
Theoretical and Applied Karstology(TAK) is an annual journal dedicated to karst and caves science.
The first four issues were published by the "Emil Racovita" Institute of Speleology, as a series, between 1983 and 1991. Since 1992, TAK has been edited by the Institute and published yearly by the Romanian Academy's Publishing House.
TAK publishes original contributions (review articles, research papers, short notes and book reviews) covering the whole range of karstology and physical speleology: karst geology and mineralogy, chemistry and physics of karst processes, karst geomorphology, karst hydrologyand hydrogeology, speleo-chronology and landscape evolution, speleogenesis,climate and subterranean environment, speleo-paleontology, engineering and environmental problems in karst, karst managment, etc.
Traditionally, TAK articles are selected from the contributions submitted to the last "Theoretical and Applied Karstology" Symposium which is held annually, usually in the spring time. Additionally, original contributions, not presented at the symposium may be also published, provided that sufficient editorial space is available.
TAK articles are published in either English or French. Abstracts, keywords and captions are published bilingual.
