Although outcrop** rarely in Italy, evaporite (gypsum and anhydrite) karst has been
described in detail since the early 20th century. Gypsum caves are now known from almost …

In Spain, evaporite outcrops cover approximately 7% of the total area of the country. Most of
the evaporitic formations are made up of Ca-sulfates (gypsum/anhydrite) or Ca-sulfates and …

The southeast of the Iberian Peninsula, more precisely, the province of Almería, has the
most important gypsum quarries in Spain. Despite the severe environmental impact of these …

We analyzed the stable isotopes (δ 17 O, δ 18 O and δD) of gypsum hydration water (GHW)
in a variety of speleothems, as well as condensation and infiltration waters in five caves of …

In Sicily, karst is well developed and exhibits different types of landscapes due to the wide
distribution of soluble rocks in different geological and environmental settings. Karst affects …

The gypsum karst of Sorbas is developed within Messinian gypsum characterized by an
interbedded sequence of selenitic gypsum beds and marls. This geological configuration …

Permian evaporites of the Castile Formation crop out over~ 1,800 km2 in the western
Delaware Basin (Eddy County, New Mexico and Culberson County, Texas, USA) with …

The south-eastern part of the Nida Basin region is the only area in Poland of gypsum karst
development. Karstification, developed in several areas of the region, occurred in a 30–40 m …

The engineering geomorphological input to ground ('geo') models as part of standard site
investigations tends to lack a systematic approach and is often restricted only to …

Four small areas of Messinian (Upper Miocene) age gypsum, outcrop** in western Sicily,
are described. Messinian age evaporites are found in Sicily over a 1000-km2 area. Here …
