چکیده

19 Sinkholes in karst areas may cause subsidence damage in transportation infrastructures, 20 demolition of buildings and even the loss of human lives when they occur in a 21 catastrophic way. Differential Interferometry (DInSAR) is a promising technology for 22 detecting and characterizing sinkholes, as well as for reducing the associated risk when 23 combined with other sources of data such as a sinkhole inventory. In this work, the 24 usefulness of InSAR techniques and data for sinkhole risk management have been 25

The Development of a Karst Feature Database for Southeastern Minnesota

Southeastern Minnesota is part of the Upper Mississippi Valley Karst (Hedges & Alexander 1985) that includes southwestern Wisconsin and northeastern Iowa. Karst lands in Minnesota developed in Paleozoic carbonate and sandstone bedrock. A significant sandstone karst has developed in Pine County (Shade et al. 2000). Most surficial karst features, such as sinkholes, are only in those areas with le...

Location of Sinkhole Extension by Seismic Refraction Tomography and GPR Methods

In 2008 a stream flow created a sinkhole near Park City, Utah, creating an irregular-shaped depression in the alluvium about 22 m long, 10 m wide and 6 m deep. The entire discharge of a nearby creek flowed into the sinkhole increasing the size of the sinkhole. A total of 10 GPR and 4 seismic refraction profiles were conducted to find lateral and vertical extensions of this sinkhole. Interpretat...

Comparison of physical, chemical and hydrogeological characteristics of karst springs in the western and eastern regions of Ilam province, Iran

Karst springs in the western and eastern regions of Ilam province have different physical and chemical properties. The springs of  the western regions, are sulfuric and thermal with high salinity; while, springs in the eastern regions, are fresh and cold. Geological, hydrogeological, hydrogeochemical and isotope studies were performed to compare and determine the factors affecting the physical ...
