KARST is a set of large spherical reflectors build on bowlshaped limestone sinkholes, in a karst landform in China. It will consist of about 30 individual elements, each about 200 meters in diameter. A site survey of 288 suitable locations was performed in Pingtang county, Guizhou province, and optimal sites will be chosen with an eye towards signal performance.

Karst fenster is a geomorphic feature formed from the dissolution of carbonate bedrock where a spring emerges then the discharge abruptly disappears into a sinkhole . The word fenster is German for window , as these features are windows into the karst landscape. Karst fenster, also known as a karst window, is an unroofed portion of a cavern, revealing part of a subterranean river Easterbrook . Underground a complex system of caves, known as karst topography evolve from the effects of water erosion on carbonate rocks such as limestone, dolomite or gypsum . A karst fenster is born from a caving in of portions of the roof of subterranean stream, thus making some of the underground stream visible from the surface Ritter . Theories in the creation of karst topography and karst fensters involve vadose water above the water table and deep circulating phreatic water water in the zone of saturation eroding away subsurface rock. Karst fensters may also form because of weathering from above. See also Karst topography References Easterbrook, Don J. Surface Processes and Landforms.
