This book comprehensively reviews the historical background of
speleology and cave research in the contexts of archeology and
natural sciences. It also offers a summary of selected topics
related to the karstic terrain of Turkey. Covering 40 % of the
country's surface area, Turkey's karstic terrain accommodates
thousands of caves. However, understanding the geology,
geomorphology, hydrology, biology, and ecosystem dynamics of these
caves is still limited. Despite numerous explorations and extensive
fieldwork, this is the first comprehensive publication on the topic
since 1984. The book presents the 45 most significant caves in
Turkey, selected according to several criteria, including
esthetical uniqueness. It covers caves of global archeological
importance, such as Karain, Yarimburgaz and UEcagizli, and some of
the world's deepest caves, such as Peynirlikoenu, Kuzgun, Morca,
and Cukurpinar. The book includes a survey and a detailed
description of the genesis, geology, geomorphology, and exploration
history for each cave.
