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.

Experimental assessment of the relationship between rainfall intensity and sinkholes caused by damaged sewer pipes [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020 In several countries, the rising occurrence of sinkholes has led to severe social and economic damage. Based on the mechanism of sinkhole development, researchers have investigated the correlation between rainfall intensity and sinkholes caused by ...

A GIS analysis of the relationship between sinkholes, dry-well complaints and groundwater pumping for frost-freeze protection of winter strawberry production in Florida. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Florida is riddled with sinkholes due to its karst topography. Sometimes these sinkholes can cause extensive damage to infrastructure and homes. It has been suggested that agricultural practices, such as sprinkler irrigation methods used to protect crops,

Sinkhole risk mapping and early warning: the case of Camaiore (Italy)
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Introduction: Sinkholes are ground collapses that can cause significant damage to infrastructure and buildings. Part of the risk represented by sinkholes is related to their abruptness and the difficulty in spotting in advance their exact location within
