Karst voids were encountered during road construction in Yongweol-ri, South Korea Attempts to determine the extent of the karst voids through drilling was expensive, time-consuming and too dangerous An electrical resistivity survey was thus carried out to investigate current subsurface geology beneath the proposed road network This investigation was aimed at imaging karstic voids and detecting ...

The archaeological karstic infill site of Galería Complex, located within the Atapuerca system (Spain), has produced a large faunal and archaeological record (Homo sp. aff. heidelbergensis fossils and Mode II lithic artefacts) belonging to the Middle Pleistocene. Extended-range luminescence dating techniques, namely post-infrared infrared stimulated luminescence (pIR-IR) dating of K-feldspars a...

In the framework of a collaboration between INAIL and University Salento, an indoor radon survey in 54 buildings belonging to UniSalento (Southeast Italy) was carried out. The monitored differ by type, construction period, materials, etc., are located area with morphology characterized mainly marls, calcareous calcarenites (karst area). sample includes 963 rooms at different floors: it consists...

Due to the limited distribution of karst rocks and, accordingly, small number caves in Ukrainian Carpathians, non-karst (pseudokarst, clastokarst) genesis attract considerable attention from cave researchers. The latter most often develop massive and coarse-grained sandstone strata, usually found as part flysch strata. non-karstic are widely spread Cretaceous Paleogene formations Carpathians. M...

Karst is a hydrogeological environment of importance not only for its water resources potential but also for its scenic and economic potential, thereby increasing the intensity of human impact. The uniqueness of karst in this regard stems from its high sensitivity and vulnerability to imposed pressures and its distinctive response to these pressures. Therefore, a clear definition and formulatio...
