heal.abstract	The purpose of this research was to study the way in which karstic phenomena are recorded in Landsat TM data. Studies of morphology, drainage networks, vegetation, soil cover and the leakage of water from the karstic coastal underground water table towards the sea were taken into account. The study area, which is located in the Corinthian Gulf in central Greece, is dominated by karstic limestones, conglomerates, flysch and recent deposits. To achieve our goal, we used a false-colour composite image (4,7,1; RGB) and a Landsat thermal image (band 6; scene recorded during the day). The FCC image was analyzed to acquire information on terrain characteristics of the karstic environment, and the thermal image was processed and enhanced so that the water leakage towards the sea could be clearly seen.	en
