Sinkholes and Subsidence will provide a twenty-first century account of how the various
subsidence features in carbonate and evaporite rocks cause problems in development and …

Sinkholes usually have a higher probability of occurrence and a greater genetic diversity in
evaporite terrains than in carbonate karst areas. This is because evaporites have a higher …

Landslide inventories are essential because they provide the basis for predictive landslide
hazard and susceptibility assessments and because they allow for the manipulation and …

The UK is a country with limited direct experience of natural disasters. Whilst landslide
losses are not negligible and fatalities are rare, accounts are under-reported. Financial …

Building damage as a result of subsidence and lateral movement can be caused by
numerous mechanisms including mining, dissolution of soluble rocks, shrink–swell of clays …

In the surroundings of Zaragoza, karstification processes are especially intense in covered
karst areas where fluvial terraces lie directly on Tertiary evaporites. Since the beginning of …

Gypsum and anhydrite are both soluble minerals that form rocks that can dissolve at the
surface and underground, producing sulphate karst and causing geological hazards …

Within Great Britain five main types of karstic rocks–dolomite, limestone, chalk, gypsum and
salt–are present. Each presents a different type and severity of karstic geohazard which are …

An essential prerequisite for any engineering or hydrogeological investigation of soluble
rocks is the identification and description of their characteristic, observable and detectable …
