Human Interactions with Karst Environments

How would you like to discover a new cave system and be the first person to see the stalactites, stalagmites, and other formations inside it? You would want to share your discovery with others.

Imagine you have recently bought your first home. It is the perfect location—close to the beaches and convenient to schools and shopping centers. But then you find out it is an area prone to sinkholes because it is in a karst environment.

The presentation goes over human interactions with caves and sinkholes. Select the play button to begin the avatar video, and then use the navigation buttons to pause/stop, continue, or reset the avatar.  View the presentation as often as you would like, and take notes as you follow along.  Be sure to set your volume at a reasonable level before you begin.
