Proceedings of the 11th Multidisciplinary Conference on Sinkholes and the Engineering and Environmental Impacts of Karst, held in Tallahassee, Florida, September 22-26, 2008. Sponsored by Geo-Institute of ASCE.

This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 73 papers concerning the unique problems and innovative solutions connected with karst terrain. The papers strike a balance between the environmental and engineering aspects of working in karst and sinkhole-prone areas. The volume reflects a distinct shift to integrated approaches for investigations and the expanding range of tools that are available to engineers and scientists.

Topics include:

• Formation of karst and sinkholes,
• Application of geophysics,
• GIS morphing and computer databases,
• Unique investigation techniques,
• Risk assessment,
• Hydrology of Woodville Karst Plain,
• Water management, monitoring, and remediation, modeling in karst,
• Groundwater tracing,
• Planning and regulation,
• Foundation design and construction,
• Sinkhole mitigation and repair,
• Grouting techniques, and
• Engineering man's infrastructure

This volume will be valuable to geotechnical engineers, environmental engineers, and all those involved in sinkholes and the impacts of karst.
