Bahamian Cave And Karst Geodatabase, And Gis Analysis Of San Salvador Island, Bahamas, Adam Dennis Walker
Bahamian Cave And Karst Geodatabase, And Gis Analysis Of San Salvador Island, Bahamas, Adam Dennis Walker
Theses and Dissertations
A geodatabase and a data management program have been created to store and manipulate cave and karst feature data from the Bahamas. A geographic information system was used to recognize any spatial patterns in the cave and karst data from San Salvador Island. Elevation data for banana holes, vadose pits and flank margin caves were obtained from a digital elevation model and are consistent with values predicted by the Carbonate Island Karst Model. The slope and aspect of the hill on which a flank margin cave is found showed no relationship to cave sizes and shapes, emphasizing the hypogenic nature …

Gis Analysis Of The Caves And Karst Of The Mariana Islands, Kevin Michael Toepke
Theses and Dissertations
The Mariana Islands are a volcanic island chain in the western Pacific Ocean composed of Eocene volcanic cores with a carbonate mantle. Others have classified the cave and karst features into the cave types described in the CIKM, but no comprehensive GIS has been developed. For this project, a comprehensive GIS of the cave and karst features was developed. The cave and karst features were divided by cave type, physiographic province, and island. The karst features in the GIS were hyperlinked to a series of HTML pages, one for each island, and a set of HTML navigation pages mirroring the …
