Geophysical Data for Assessment of Karst Drainage Features in Genesee County, New York
December 17, 2024
In September and November 2023, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, collected geophysical surveys of 5 karst drainage features (sinkholes) in eastern Genesee County, New York, in order to study the nature of the subsurface fill material, bedrock topography, and karst dissolution features. Sites were surveyed using multiple geophysical techniques, including frequency-domain electromagnetics (FDEM), ground-penetrating radar (GPR), electrical-resistivity tomography (ERT), passive seismic (HVSR), and seismic refraction tomography.

Karst hydrogeologic systems represent challenging and unique conditions to scientists studying groundwater flow and contaminant transport. Karst terrains are characterized by distinct and beautiful landscapes, caverns, and springs, and many of the exceptional karst areas are designated as national or state parks. The range and complexity of landforms and groundwater flow systems...
