Environmental protection problems in the areas of former mines with emphasis on sinkholes: selected examples

open access: yesInternational Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, 2020
The paper concerns an analysis of causes of sinkholes in the area of the former mines located in the Upper Silesia (Poland). The conducted statistical analysis allowed to determine the share of some types of shallow excavations in the formation of ...

Assessing multifunctional mountain landscape in an Eastern European framework

open access: yesGeographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.
The research introduces the Biocultural Resilience Index (BRI), a novel tool for assessing multifunctional landscape sustainability. By integrating biological, cultural, and socio‐economic indicators, the BRI identifies vulnerable areas and informs strategies for sustainable management.

Evaporite sinkholes of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region (NE Italy)

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2017
Sinkholes are common in the Friuli Venezia Giulia (FVG) Region (NE Italy), where the presence of karstifiable rocks favours their occurrence accelerated by intense rainfalls.

Clumped Isotope Temperature Reconstruction Using Stalagmite Drip Cups

open access: yesRapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 8, 30 April 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Application of clumped isotope palaeothermometry to speleothems (carbonate cave deposits, e.g., stalagmites and flowstones) has been restricted largely to subaqueous samples because of kinetic fractionation processes that occur during subaerial speleothem formation, which lead to erroneously high inferred temperatures.

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.

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

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 286-295, April 2026.
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.

Hydrogeochemical processes controlling water and dissolved gas chemistry at the Accesa sinkhole (southern Tuscany, central Italy)

open access: yesJournal of Limnology, 2014
The 38.5 m deep Lake Accesa is a sinkhole located in southern Tuscany (Italy) that shows a peculiar water composition, being characterized by relatively high total dissolved solids (TDS) values (2 g L-1) and a Ca(Mg)-SO4 geochemical facies.

Applying Karst Hydrology Concepts to Anthropogenic Subsurface Systems and Mine Water Management

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.
Due to the pronounced similarities between natural karst systems and mine workings, we consider mine workings as man‐made karst and present the concept of ‘anthropogenic karst’. ABSTRACT Mine water management is a permanent challenge in post‐mining areas where drainage adits play a crucial role for the regulation of water levels within partially ...

Evolution of surface deformation related to salt extraction-caused sinkholes in Solotvyno (Ukraine) revealed by Sentinel-1 radar interferometry

open access: yes, 2020
. Rocksalt has remarkable mechanical properties and a high economic importance, however, this strength of salt compared to other rocks makes it a rather vulnerable material.
