Sinkhole risks are becoming particularly severe in urban areas that lack careful planning
and where karst depressions are frequently filled and developed. These built-up areas are …

The investigation and prediction of geological anomalies in underground quarries is
fundamental to ensure safety, efficiency and economic convenience of the exploitation. For …

The erosion of soluble rock and transformation of groundwater result in the high geometrical
irregularity of cavities in nature. The purpose of this paper is to quantitatively describe the …

On Kranjsko polje in central Slovenia, carbonate conglomerates have been dated to several
Pleistocene glacial phases by relative dating based on the morphostratigrafic mapping and …

This paper describes the inspection for cavity detection in an urban area in Torrente
(Valencia, Spain). A shallow cave was found during the excavation work for a new sewerage …

The bare karst surface in the southeastern part of Krk Island (Croatia) is characterized by
different surface karst features, such as valley-like shallow linear depressions and partially …

The present research investigates the morphology and genetical mechanism of a sinkhole
which occurred in 2019 in Murisengo (NW Italy). This landform is representative of several …

Ecosystems such as wetlands have karst groundwater as their primary source of preserving
their services and functions. Karst systems are complex hydrogeological systems that are …

Karst subsidence has caused damage in numerous buildings and infrastructures in the
surroundings of Zaragoza city since the early 1970s, when rapid urbanization of the area …

In karst areas, the drainage pipes of aging tunnels are prone to be clogged by precipitated
carbonates, resulting in lining cracking and tunnel leaking. As a result, not only the driving …
