“…Bellevue sinkholes are an order of magnitude larger in mean area, perimeter, and volume than those found in other regions. Previous studies have suggested that depressions in Bellevue are so large because the region is underlain by very soluble gypsum (Sasowsky et al, 2003;Dinsmore, 2011). Parts of the Salina Group were deposited as anhydrite and chemically altered to gypsum, resulting in expansion (White, 1926;Kihn, 1988;Pavey et al, 1999).…”

Bellevue also experienced multiple events that likely lead to increased bedrock fracturing and water availability from melting ice. Conversely, most of Hillsboro was glaciated only once and has less-developed sinkholes. Unlike other regions, Bellevue was affected by ancient lakes as well. Large sinks in Bellevue indicate higher dissolution activity and sinkholes that have merged, while small circular sinkholes in Hillsboro are less active and not developed enough to merge and become irregular. Improved knowledge of the differences between these regions will assist in mitigating and avoiding these geologic hazards.

“…Bugliosi (1997), Casey (1997), and Eberts and George (1997) mentioned the presence of paleokarst (buried karst) in their studies of the hydrogeological and hydrogeochemical properties of the regional, carbonate aquifer that extends through northern Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois; they did not discuss the potential re-activation of buried karst features. Ultimately, our knowledge of groundwater/surface-water interactions that are facilitated by karst flowpaths and conduits in northern Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois is limited (Sasowsky et al, 2003;Torres and Bair, 2012).…”
