- The paper presents novel analytical methods for estimating stability of sinkholes and the surface area affected by sinkhole collapse. This paper is an outcome of collaboration between Durham University and the University of Pretoria in South Africa funded by Newton Fund and the Royal Academy of Engineering. Results reported in the paper, were proposed and adopted for the 2017 revision of Parts 1 and 2 of the South African National Standard for development of dolomite land, SANS 1936 following a workshop targeting stakeholders and policy makers on mitigation strategy against sinkhole collapse risks in Pretoria on 8 December 2016 https://www.dur.ac.uk/esrciaa/gcrf/sinkhole/]
