20021015 Sinkholes of Florida vector digital data Tallahassee, FL Florida Geological Survey sinkhole081202aVarioushttp://www.dep.state.fl.us/geology/ Since its inception in 1907, the Florida Geological Survey (FGS) has gathered data on Florida karst (sinkholes, caves, springs, etc.). In 1982, the Florida Sinkhole Research Institute (FSRI) was created at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. At that time all FGS sinkhole data files were transferred to the FSRI. One of their programs was to compile and tabulate this information and convert it to a computer database. When the Florida legislature discontinued FSRI's funding in the early 1990's, the FSRI nearly ceased operations entirely. After that the database was returned to the FGS and selected portions of the information were published in 1994 as FGS Open File Report 58, "FLORIDA SINKHOLE INDEX." The data is currently available in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet format and ESRI shapefile format via the FGS Internet web site. This information is primarily used to more fully understand the unique relationship between karst and the state's groundwater resources and aquifer systems. FSRI, is still located at the University of Central Florida (UCF) and their current director is Dr. Shiou-San Kuo. He can be reached at UCF's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at (407) 823-2280. en 1948 2002 publication date Complete As needed -87.6394 -79.8725 30.9963 24.5054 209356.178344782935.67713964019.410444762740.163236 None sinkhole karst caves sinks None Florida None NOT FOR SITE-SPECIFIC EVALUATION OR INTERPRETATION.
