  • IAEG2006 Field Trip Guide Ripon 1 GYPSUM DISSOLUTION
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by NERC Open Research Archive IAEG2006 Field Trip Guide Ripon GYPSUM DISSOLUTION GEOHAZARDS AT RIPON, NORTH YORKSHIRE, UK Anthony H.Cooper1 1British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG, e-mail:[email protected] Abstract: This guide is for a one-day field excursion to examine gypsum dissolution geohazards at Ripon in North Yorkshire. Gypsum is a highly soluble rock and under suitable groundwater flow conditions it can dissolve forming caves and karstic features including collapse and suffosion dolines. These have the capability of causing subsidence damage of the type that affects much of the Ripon area. The guide details the processes involved, the localities visited and some of the remedial measures undertaken. Résumé: Ce guide concerne l'excursion d'une journée ayant pour but d'étudier les géo-aléas liés à la dissolution du gypse à Ripon dans la région du North Yorkshire. Le gypse est une roche hautement soluble et, dans des conditions adéquates d'écoulement de l'eau souterraine, pouvant se dissoudre et engendrer des grottes et formes karstiques telles qu'effondrements et dolines de suffosion. Celles-ci peuvent causer des dégâts de subsidence du type de ceux qui touchent la plupart des alentours de Ripon. Ce guide fournit des explications sur les phénomènes mis en jeu, les localités visitées et quelques-unes des mesures prises pour remédier à ces problèmes. Keywords: subsidence, evaporites, aquifers, cavities, collapse, urban geosciences. INTRODUCTION Gypsum, hydrated Calcium Sulphate (CaSO4.2H2O), is attractive as satin spar, beautiful as carved alabaster, practical as plasterboard (wallboard), but the cause of a geological hazard capable of swallowing houses and collapsing dams.
