The following organization provides Sinkhole Research information.


Florida Sinkhole Research Institute

The Florida Sinkhole Research Institute was founded in 1982 at the University of Central Florida in Orlando following the catastrophic impact of the Winter Park sinkhole. The Institute provides educational materials and publishes research reports. It provides technical advice on sinkhole activities and Karst topography to individuals and agencies on the local, regional, state, nation or world levels. A database of more than 1,500 collapses in Florida was formerly managed by the Institute and is now managed by the Florida Geological Survey.

Hard copy reports, computer based inventory of sinkholes in Florida, and audio-visual materials are used.

An additional source of information is:

    Sinkholes in Florida: An Introduction. B. Beck, R. Kersten, and T. Colburn. 1986. Orlando, FL: The Florida Sinkhole Research Institute at the University of Central Florida. Report No. 85-86-4.
