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

Remote 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.

Evaporite-karst processes, landforms, and environmental problems [PDF]

, 2008
Evaporite karst is widespread, but relatively unknown when compared with carbonate karst; this special issue addresses that lack of familiarity. Evaporite rocks have much higher solubilities and faster dissolution rates than carbonate rocks and they also

Integration of satellite-based A-DInSAR and geological modeling supporting the prevention from anthropogenic sinkholes: a case study in the urban area of Rome

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2021
This paper presents a methodology tuned to support the management of underground pipelines (sewer and aqueduct networks) in Rome, often threatened by the sudden formation of sinkholes related to the upward migration of existing underground cavities.

Exploring Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) to Detect Soil Pipes: Theoretical Modeling and Field Experiments

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion research remains critical for sustainable development as it impacts soil health through different erosive processes. Recent studies on soil piping highlight advancements in detecting surface features (using UAV); however, detecting underground pipes still remains challenging.

Development of a Sinkhole Raveling Chart Based on Cone Penetration Test (CPT) Data [PDF]

, 2018
Naturally occurring sinkholes in Florida are formed when the soluble limestone bedrock weathers and creates cavities at its interface with the overburden finer-grained soils. The overburden soil then erodes into the limestone fissures, thus weakening the

Extended Strahler Ordering to Distinguish Mapped River Channels From Overland Flow Pathways and Consistently Compare Digital Networks

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Digital networks are virtual representations of freshwater systems that provide important inputs to, and mapping of, river classifications, simulation models, and quantitative data analyses for policy, planning, and management. Strahler order has often been used to characterize network configuration and as a proxy indicator of river channel ...

U/Th Dating of Secondary Carbonate Deposits in Underground Galleries of Fourvière Hill (Lyon, France) Reveals a Water Supply System in Operation From the Roman Period to the Middle Ages

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The recent discovery of a water draining structure known as the Antiquaille galleries in Fourvière hill, in the center of Lyon, France (ancient Lugdunum), sheds light on the water drainage system built by the former inhabitants of this area for their water needs.
