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 study proposes the use of a geographic information system (GIS) to create a
susceptibility map, pinpointing regions in the karst counties of Virginia, in particular, along …

The following study proposes a methodology for taking readily available geographic
information system (GIS) data and using that to create sinkhole susceptibility maps …

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

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 …

The use of regional sinkhole maps, or closed-contour depicted sinkholes from 7.5-minute
topographic maps, for deriving sinkhole susceptibility maps may be problematical. In …

Problem: The Frederick Valley in west-central Maryland (Fig. 1) has an abundance of active,
cover-collapse sinkholes—a situation complicated by population growth and concomitant …

An understanding of what influences sinkhole formation and the ability to accurately predict
sinkhole hazards is critical to environmental management efforts in the karst lands of …

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 …

Sinkholes in karst and pseudokarst regions threaten infrastructure, property, and lives. We
mapped closed depressions in karst and pseudokarst regions of the conterminous United …
