Abstract:
Shallow karst features pose significant risks to both people and infrastructure, making early detection critically important. In this study, we present seismic modeling and imaging results of karstic voids using the boundary element method. Seismic wave-based detection offers distinct advantages, as karst structures generate complex wavefields that can be effectively analyzed to reveal subsurface anomalies.
