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 …

LIDAR-BASED DELINEATION OF KARST FEATURES IN THE GYPSUM PLAIN, EDDY COUNTY, NEW MEXICO AND CULBERSON COUNTY, TEXAS
<p>The Gypsum Plain of the Delaware Basin encompasses approximately 1,800 km<sup>2</sup> of massive to laminated gypsum (anhydrite in the subsurface) outcrop of early Ochoan Castile and Salado strata. These extensive Permian-age evaporites host significant karst phenomena as a result of the …

Soil Gypsum Content Analysis of the Proposed Road Route Extension of FM 2185 in the Gypsum Plain, Culberson County, Texas
… main problems with gypsic soils is dissolution. Gypsum (CaSO<sub>4</sub>·2H<sub>2</sub>O) in soils dissolves easily creating voids which can be detrimental to the integrity of engineering structures. To mitigate this, it is important to determine the amount of gypsum present in soils, before …

Physical and Chemical Controls on Suffosion Development in Gypsic Soil, Culberson County, Texas
<p>In the Gypsum Plain, suffosion processes have encouraged road failure through dissolution and transport of gypsic soils; however, no prior research has been conducted within the Delaware Basin in regard to these processes. These phenomena were evaluated in both field and laboratory settings in …

Speleogenesis and Delineation of Megaporosity and Karst Geohazards Through Geologic Cave Mapping and LiDAR Analyses Associated with Infrastructure in Culberson County, Texas
<p>The Gypsum Plain region of the Delaware Basin hosts approximately 1800 km<sup>2</sup> 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 …

GEOPHYSICAL DELINEATION OF MEGAPOROSITY AND FLUID MIGRATION PATHWAYS FOR GEOHAZARD CHARACTERIZATION WITHIN THE DELAWARE BASIN, CULBERSON COUNTY, TEXAS
… <p>Differential dissolution of gypsum karst within the Delaware Basin poses a significant threat to infrastructure that society depends on. The study area is located in Culberson County, Texas and traverses a distance of approximately 54 kilometers along RM 652 within the Gypsum …

CHARACTERIZATION AND DELINEATION OF POTENTIAL EVAPORITE GEOHAZARDS USING ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY METHODS ALONG FM 2185, CULBERSON COUNTY, TEXAS
… and caves. The study area is located within the Gypsum Plain in Culberson County, Texas, and includes outcrops of Castile and Rustler strata that host gypsum karst geohazards. Land reconnaissance surveys conducted during the summer of 2019 documented numerous surficial manifestations of karst …

Delineation of Karst Geohazards along RM 652 Through the Use of Ground Penetrating Radar: Culberson County, Texas
… 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 ranging from small scale dissolution of …
