The purpose of this article is to characterize, only on a geochemical plan (major and minor elements and traces), the alteration processes and their consequences on the karsts of the northern scrublands of the Gard department and those of the southern Ardèche, where the caves have conserved sediment depositions of late Cretaceous and Paleogene...

Groundwater in karst aquifers is a valuable resource in Mediterranean region which is particularly threatened by climate change. Climate change induces an increase in evapotranspiration and a decrease in rainfall available for groundwater resource. This impacts directly karst aquifer recharge and thus indirectly karst-river interactions. The...
