| Abstract: | Previous studies have shown that island karst could successfully indicate paleoclimate change in the Quaternary Period. However, because of the relative inaccessibility of carbonate islands and their rural settings, the exploration of island karst features has been limited. To enhance future research, remote sensing and geospatial modeling were used in this study to improve the island karst exploration record. The results showed that fuzzy-based spatial modeling could successfully predict the island karst distributions on a simple carbonate island. The accuracy of the model was above 90 %. This method could apply to other coastal karst regions and carbonate islands in the future. |
