Basic processes and factors determining the evolution of collapse sinkholes – A sensitivity study

Engineering Geology, 2020
Collapse sinkholes are closed depressions appearing at the surface as a consequence of a complex interplay between dissolution, erosion and mechanical stability in karst aquifers. Sinkholes are difficult to study and their locations are almost impossible

Numerical investigation on the mechanical behaviour of karst sinkholes

Environmental Geotechnics, 2020
The mechanical behaviour of soils overlying weathered bedrock is often a concern when it comes to the risk of sinkhole occurrence.

Sinkholes threatening places of worship in the historic center of Naples

, 2020
The historic center of Naples (southern Italy) is characterized by a variety of elements which, forming its cultural asset, have contributed to its recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Sinkhole Hazards

2016
Sinkholes or dolines are closed depressions characteristic of terrains underlain by soluble rocks (carbonates and/or evaporites). They may be related to the differential dissolutional lowering of the ground surface (solution sinkholes) or to subsidence induced by subsurface karstification (subsidence sinkholes).

Use of GPR method for prediction of sinkholes formation along the Dead Sea Shores, Israel

Geomorphology, 2019
It seems the highly saline conditions of the Dead Sea (DS) coast line are not favorable for the use of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) method for detection of underground caverns before sinkhole formation (short-time prediction).

Use of Regional Sinkhole Mapping for Sinkhole Susceptibility Maps

Sinkholes and the Engineering and Environmental Impacts of Karst, 2003
The use of regional sinkhole maps, or closed-contour depicted sinkholes from 7.5-minute topographic maps, for deriving sinkhole susceptibility maps may be problematical. In Virginia, the 1:24,000-scale topographic maps for the Valley and Ridge physiographic province karst utilize either 6- or 12-m (20- or 40-ft) contour intervals.
