Comparative Analysis of the Study of Karst Processes in Urbanized Areas and Gypsum Plaster Deposits

Abstract

Natural and anthropogenic factors leading to the collapse zones formation and methods of studying karst processes for urbanized territories and deposits of gypsum plaster are characterized. Comparative analysis shows that the study of karst processes both in urbanized areas and in deposits of gypsum plaster are similar, but their essence is different for the assessment of the karst hazard. The possibility of applying the results of studying karst processes in urbanized territories to deposits of gypsum plaster and vice versa is considered. Recommended karstological studies at all ages and stages of geological exploration are given.
