SINKHOLE SUSCEPTIBILITY ANALYSIS FOR KARAPINAR/KONYA VIA MULTI CRITERIA DECISION [PDF]

ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2017
Sinkholes are being a natural hazard which threads economic and human life. Sudden occurrence characteristic of sinkholes make it unable to escape. There are a lot of factor that activate sinkholes such as geology, irrigation, land use and human related ...

Caves, sinkholes, and fractures in the eogenetic karst of Florida, a GIS-based spatial analysis

Acta Carsologica, 2022
The correlation between surface and subsurface karst development was explored by comparing the directionality and spatial distribution of karstic depressions around twenty-two select caves in the eogenetic karst of Florida.

Subterranean environments contribute to three-quarters of classified ecosystem services. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Spatial and morphometric analysis of a comprehensive dataset of loess sinkholes from a small basin in the Chinese Loess Plateau [PDF]

Earth System Science Data
From a global perspective, the basic mapping and investigation of the loess sinkholes are far less extensive and in-depth than those of karst sinkholes.

Bryophyte diversity in karst sinkholes affected by different degrees of human disturbance

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2019
The diversity of bryophytes in karst sinkholes has received little attention, and these habitats probably play a crucial role as refugia. In this study, bryophyte diversity affected by different levels of human disturbance in five karst sinkholes was ...

Sinkholes and uvalas in evaporite karst: spatio-temporal development with links to base-level fall on the eastern shore of the Dead Sea [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2019
Enclosed topographic depressions are characteristic of karst landscapes on Earth. The developmental relationship between depression types, such as sinkholes (dolines) and uvalas, has been the subject of debate, mainly because the long developmental ...

Geodiversity of closed depressions in a high relief karst: Geoeducation asset and geotourism resource in the 'Sierra de las Nieves' National Park (Málaga Province, Southern Spain)

International Journal of Geoheritage and Parks, 2022
Closed depressions are scale-invariant landforms that are the most distinctive and characteristic landform in karst terrains at the millimetre-to-kilometre scales. The purpose of this paper is twofold.

Florida Sinkholes and Grout Injection Stabilization

Undergraduate Journal of Mathematical Modeling: One + Two, 2014
Florida has a major problem when it comes to sinkholes. These sinkholes can become very hazardous to people, homes, and to the landscape as a whole. Florida sits on a carbonate platform which is highly indicative of sinkholes.
