Studying Sinkholes
Author: Tamra B. Orr
Publisher: Cherry Lake
ISBN: 1633624471
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
In this book, students see the scientific method at work in a real-world situation. Readers practice close reading as they look for clues that will lead to a deeper understanding of erosion, sinkholes, and Earth's structure. The scientific method pushes students to apply critical thinking as they learn new methods of exploration and build on concepts they may already know. Additional tools, including a glossary and index, help students learn new vocabulary and locate information.

Geologic Hazards Mapping

Category : Geological mapping

Pages : 0
Book Description
The Iowa Geological Survey (IGS) updated the sinkhole coverage and karst susceptibility map for a four-county area in north- central Iowa including Worth, Cerro Gordo, Mitchell, and Floyd counties. Results more than doubled the number of mapped sinkholes and significantly refined the karst susceptibility map for the region. This work was enhanced due to recent surficial and bedrock geologic mapping completed by the IGS as part of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) STATEMAP program. These recent geologic maps improved upon the Bedrock Geologic Map of Iowa (Witzke et al., 2010) and provided the basis for determining areas with bedrock that typically form karst features and sinkholes. The surficial geologic maps allowed IGS geologists to consider the characteristics of surficial geologic materials when identifying areas with high karst potential, whereas previous karst assessments had only considered the thickness of surficial materials.

Natural and Anthropogenic Hazards in Karst Areas
Author: Mario Parise
Publisher: Geological Society of London
ISBN: 9781862392243
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
The book presents an overview of the main hazards affecting karst, including collapse and subsidence phenomena, hydrological hazards and human-induced geohazards. Consideration is also given to the problems of geohazard management in karst. The geological and hydrological properties of karst terrains make them among the most fragile in the world and pose serious problems for land managers. Sustainable development in these terrains requires efforts to limit geohazards of anthropogenic origin and to recognize and mitigate against those of natural origin. Aimed at providing the reader with worldwide case studies, the contributions cover a range of geological and morphological settings. Geographically, the fourteen papers discuss very different karst areas, from North America, the Caribbean and Asia to several karst areas in Europe, including the British Isles, Spain, France and Italy.
