Sinkhole Scanner: A New Method to Detect Sinkhole-Related Spatio-Temporal Patterns in InSAR Deformation Time Series [PDF]

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Sinkholes are sudden disasters that are usually small in size and occur at unexpected locations. They may cause serious damage to life and property. Sinkhole-prone areas can be monitored using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) time series.

Machine learning for sinkhole risk mapping in Guidonia-Bagni di Tivoli plain (Rome), Italy

open access: yesGeocarto International, 2022
This work presents a sinkhole susceptibility and risk assessment mapping in Guidonia-Bagni di Tivoli plain (Italy), a travertine sinkhole-prone area where sudden occurrences of sinkholes have happened in past and recent times.

Simulating Drainage from a Flooded Sinkhole

open access: yesActa Carsologica, 2010
Understanding sinkhole-drainage capacity and functioning is critical to realizing the effects that may be created when direct­ing stormwater drainage into sinkholes.

Sinkhole Physical Models to Simulate and Investigate Sinkhole Collapses

open access: yesSinkholes and the Engineering and Environmental Impacts of Karst: Proceedings of the Fourteenth Multidisciplinary Conference, 2015
Florida is one of the most susceptible states for sinkhole collapses due to its karst geology. In Florida, sinkholes are mainly classified as cover subsidence sinkholes that result in a gradual collapse with possible surface signs, and cover collapse sinkholes, which collapse in a sudden and often catastrophic manner.

Sinkhole Detection and Characterization Using LiDAR-Derived DEM with Logistic Regression

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
Depressions due to sinkhole formation cause significant structural damages to buildings and civil infrastructure. Traditionally, visual inspection has been used to detect sinkholes, which is a subjective way and time- and labor-consuming.

Experimental Study of Sinkhole Propagation Induced by a Leaking Pipe Using Fibre Bragg Grating Sensors [PDF]

open access: yesSensors
Sinkhole formation caused by leaking pipes in karst soluble rocks is a significant concern, leading to infrastructure damage and safety risks. In this paper, an experiment was conducted to investigate sinkhole formation in dense sand induced by a leaking

Drainage Mechanisms of Submerged Sinkholes

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Subsurface salt layer dissolution along the western shores of the Dead Sea is considered to be the primary cause for extensive large sinkhole formation in the past 40 years.

Current and future sinkhole susceptibility in karst and pseudokarst areas of the conterminous United States

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Sinkholes in karst and pseudokarst regions threaten infrastructure, property, and lives. We mapped closed depressions in karst and pseudokarst regions of the conterminous United States (U.S.) from 10-m-resolution elevation data using high-performance ...

Growth of a sinkhole in a seismic zone of the northern Apennines (Italy) [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018
Sinkhole collapse is a major hazard causing substantial social and economic losses. However, the surface deformations and sinkhole evolution are rarely recorded, as these sites are known mainly after a collapse, making the assessment of sinkhole ...

Ground stability of ellipsoidal cavity due to pipeline defects

open access: yesApplications in Engineering Science, 2023
The problem of road-related sinkhole stability has long been one of the main safety concerns to pavement engineers. Collapse and blowout failures are two typical types of pipeline-related sinkhole failures.
