Sinkhole Monitoring Using Groundwater Table Data
, 2016 Florida might be one of the most sinkhole-active areas on the earth. Due to its unpredictability and significance of occurrence, the development of sinkhole monitoring techniques is imperative to minimize sinkhole-induced hazards.

Sinkhole Structure Imaging in Covered Karst Terrain
, 2006 Ground penetrating radar (GPR) and resistivity techniques have been widely used to map the locations of sinkholes in covered karst terrain. To determine whether a sinkhole is a likely preferential conduit for groundwater flow, however, requires higher ...

Physical Hydrogeological Modeling of Florida\u27s Sinkhole Hazard
, 2017 Sinkholes are one of the major geohazards in karst terrain and pose a social, economic, and environmental risk. In Florida, sinkhole-related insurance claims between 2006 and the third quarter of 2010 amounted to $1.4 billion.
