In this study the influence of geologic features related to sinkhole susceptibility was
analyzed and the results were mapped for the region of Jefferson County, West Virginia. A …

A dataset of 556 collapsed sinkholes covering six 1: 24,000 scale geologic quadrangles was
analyzed in order to map the relative likelihood of sinkhole formation in Frederick Valley …

Sinkholes are inherent features of the karst terrain of Greene County, Missouri, that present
hazards and engineering challenges to construction/infrastructure development. Analysis of …

Karst terrain is landscape underlain by limestone that has been chemically dissolved by
acidic groundwater, producing subsurface voids that pose risks for sinkholes if the …

This paper presents the implementation of the frequency ratio (FR) method to evaluate the
contribution of every factor on sinkholes and develop a sinkhole susceptibility map for East …

This paper presents a method for evaluating sinkhole potential based on eleven sinkhole
characteristics that may be found during a subsurface investigation. In brief, the …

Sinkholes are among the most frequent hydrogeological hazards in the area of Central
Florida. It is important to identify the sinkhole-prone areas in order to minimize the loss and …

Sinkholes are the major cause of concern in Florida for their direct role on aquifer
vulnerability and potential loss of lives and property. Mapping sinkhole susceptibility is …

Sinkhole probability maps have been constructed for southeastern Minnesota in Winona,
Olmsted, Fillmore Counties and Leroy Township in Mower County. A new sinkhole …

Before risk assessments for sinkhole damage and indemnification are developed, a data
base must be created to predict the occurrence and distribution of sinkholes. This database …
