Title

Sinkhole Development In South Georgia And Florida, Usa, And The Founding Of The Florida Sinkhole Research Institute.

Abstract

Most sinkholes in Florida and SW Georgia are subsidence dolines. They are usually developed in partially consolidated sands and clays overdying the highly permeable Tertiary limestone aquifer. Because new sinkholes are so common in Florida, insurance protection is offered. The Florida Sinkhole Research Institute was founded in 1983 to coordinate and conduct research on sinkhole development so as to minimize the impact on man. -from Author
