This is the final report of the UNESCO/IUGS supported International Geological Correlation Program (IGCP) project 379 "Karst Processes and the Carbon Cycle" (1995-1999). The project is a succrssor of IGCP 299 "Geology, Climate, Hydrology and Karst Formation" (1990-1994), which provides scientific and information background for this project. The volume starts from a brief introduction on the basic principles and methodologies of IGCP 379. Previous results useful for the project, such as data of world carbonate rock denudation are also included. The progress of the project from 1995 to 1999 are summarized year by year, to introduce not only the major achievements of IGCP 379, but also how it evolved.
