Physical and Chemical Controls on Suffosion Development in Gypsic Soil, Culberson County, Texas
… mitigate damage imposed on infrastructure in evaporite karst terrains. Regions with thick, heterogeneous soils of low to moderate gypsum content (10-70%) and moderate fracture densities (100-800 m/km<sup>2</sup>) are optimal for suffosion development. This model should be considered for future …

CHARACTERIZATION AND DELINEATION OF POTENTIAL EVAPORITE GEOHAZARDS USING ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY METHODS ALONG FM 2185, CULBERSON COUNTY, TEXAS
<p>Extensive karst development within the Delaware Basin of West Texas and southeastern New Mexico poses a significant geohazard threat to infrastructure. Dissolution of regional evaporite strata have led to manifestations of karst geohazard phenomena including sinkholes, subsidence features, and …

Delineation of Karst Geohazards along RM 652 Through the Use of Ground Penetrating Radar: Culberson County, Texas
… New Mexico. The Delaware Basin hosts significant evaporite karst geohazards throughout the Gypsum Plain of the Castile Formation, where geohazards of all scales form beneath and immediately adjacent to major infrastructure throughout the region, especially Ranch-to-Market 652, including geohazards …

Speleogenetic Evolution and Geological Remote Sensing of the Gypsum Plain, Eddy County, New Mexico
<p>Permian evaporites of the Gypsum Plain region of the Delaware Basin host extensive karst phenomena, as well as unique diagenetic alterations of host strata. Because of the complex, poorly understood hydrogeologic system, little has been established concerning the relation and evolution of the …

Speleogenesis and Delineation of Megaporosity and Karst Geohazards Through Geologic Cave Mapping and LiDAR Analyses Associated with Infrastructure in Culberson County, Texas
… of the Castile Formation outcrop. A myriad of karstic developments from closed sinkholes to large multi-kilometer cave systems have been documented within the region. Karst studies on the distribution and speleogenetic evolution within Castile strata began within the last decade with ever …
