Remote Sensing, 2019 During the past three decades, the Dead Sea (DS) water level has dropped at an average rate of ~1 m/year, resulting in the formation of thousands of sinkholes along its coastline that severely affect the economy and infrastructure of the region.

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract The characterization and management of karst systems is a challenging task due to their inherently heterogeneous nature and vulnerability with respect to contamination. Highly conductive features of the vadose zone (e.g., dissolution shafts and faults) induce flow channeling and preferential flow. This complicates any efforts to simulate rapid

International Journal of Speleology, 2017 Since the early 80s, a progressively increasing number of sinkholes appeared along the Dead Sea coastal line. It has been found that their appearance is strongly correlating with the lowering of the Dead Sea level taking place with the rate of ...

High mountain relief in marble in Pirin Mountains, Bulgaria: structure, specifics and evolution
Revista de Geomorfologie, 2017 The present article is focused on high mountain relief in marble, which combines glacial, periglacial and karstic morphology. High mountain karst is found in Northern Pirin (Vihren and Sinanitsa area) and central Pirin (Orelek area), the latter lacking ...

Membrane effect of geosynthetic reinforcement subjected to localized sinkholes
Canadian geotechnical journal (Print), 2018 A membrane effect often occurs in geosynthetic-reinforced structures, where subsoil may have voids or sinkholes. An analytical model is proposed to estimate membrane effect of a geosynthetic reinforcement subjected to localized sinkholes.

Evaporite karst in Italy: a review
International Journal of Speleology, 2017 Although outcropping rarely in Italy, evaporite (gypsum and anhydrite) karst has been described in detail since the early 20th century. Gypsum caves are now known from almost all Italian regions, but are mainly localised along the northern border of the ...

The Role of Earth Observation, with a Focus on SAR Interferometry, for Sinkhole Hazard Assessment
Remote Sensing, 2018 Sinkholes are global phenomena with significant consequences on the natural- and built environment. Significant efforts have been devoted to the assessment of sinkhole hazards to predict the spatial and temporal occurrence of future sinkholes as well as ...
