Abstract

Dolines (karstic closed depressions) are surface landforms that are characteristic of karstic areas. Since tectonic, morphologic, and climatic features greatly affect doline development, morphology, and distribution, dolines can provide important information about the morpho-tectonic evolution of karstic areas. Although there are many calculations used in determining doline morphometry, but only a few are common. In this study, we review the parameters commonly used in determining doline morphometry and offer examples from around the world, specifically the Taurus Mountains.
