A genetic classification of sinkholes illustrated from evaporite paleokarst exposures in Spain
TL;DR: In this paper, a new genetic classification of sinkholes applicable to both carbonate and evaporite karst areas is proposed, with the exception of solution dolines, by use of two terms that refer to the material affected by downward gravitational movements (cover, bedrock or caprock).
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification, prediction, and mitigation of sinkhole hazards in evaporite karst areas
TL;DR: Sinkhole identification, investigation, prediction, and mitigation using field surveys and geomorphological mapping combined with accounts from local people and historical sources is studied in this paper, where detailed sinkhole maps can be constructed from sequential historical maps, recent topographical maps, and digital elevation models (DEMs) complemented with building-damage surveying, remote sensing, and high-resolution geodetic surveys.

TL;DR: In this article, a geophysical survey routine is proposed to detect underground cavities and dolines; it is based on the sequential application of magnetic, low-frequency ground penetrating radar (GPR) and microgravity techniques.

Fluvial sequences as evidence for landscape and climatic evolution in the Late Cenozoic: a synthesis of data from IGCP 518
TL;DR: A collection of papers derived from International Geoscience Programme (IGCP) Project 518 as mentioned in this paper examined the data accumulated on fluvial records, particularly river terrace sequences, for patterns that contribute to the interpretation of Late Cenozoic landscape and climatic evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geological and environmental implications of the evaporite karst in Spain
TL;DR: The sinkhole risk has a particularly high impact in sectors where Tertiary evaporites are overlain by Quaternary alluvial aquifers (Calatayud, Zaragoza, and Madrid areas), and the main anthropogenic impacts on the endokarstic systems are related to the disposal of wastewaters and the destruction of caves by quarrying as discussed by the authors.

Architectural-Element Analysis: A New Method of Facies Analysis Applied to Fluvial Deposits
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new method of analysis for fluvial facies, which subdivides fluvic deposits into local suites consisting of one or more of a set of eight basic three-dimensional architectural elements.
Lithofacies Types and Vertical Profile Models in Braided River Deposits: A Summary
TL;DR: In this paper, a new model, the Trollheim type, is proposed to include gravelly deposits characterized by abundant debris flows, and the South Saskatchewan type is proposed for sand dominated cyclic deposits.

Stream-terrace genesis: implications for soil development
TL;DR: In this paper, three distinct types of stream terraces can be understood through application of the concepts of tectonically induced downcutting, base level of erosion, complex response, threshold of critical power, diachronous and synchronous response times, and static and dynamic equilibrium.
