Abstract

A geophysical survey routine is proposed to detect underground cavities and dolines, based on the sequential application of ground penetrating radar (GPR) and electrical resistivity imaging or tomography (RESTOM). A case study near Cherea area (NE Algeria) demonstrates the applicability of these methods. Nine GPR profiles and two-dimensional RESTOM have been applied, with relative success, to locate paleo-collapses and cavities, and to detect and characterize karst at two sinkhole sites near Cheria city where limestone is covered by about 10 m of clayey soils. The survey results suggest that GPR and RESTOM are ideal geophysical tools to aid in the detection and monitoring of sinkholes and other subsurface cavities.
