  "abstract": "Cave development in the Qatar peninsula: insights on their origin and associated geohazardsThe geology of the State of Qatar comprises large spans of carbonate rocks at the surface and evaporitic rocks at shallow depth, and a number karst features (depressions, caves) spread across the country that may cause challenges during land development or infrastructure construction. The government of Qatar has identified that existing geodatabases and geological and hydrogeological maps require improvement to mitigate this risk. In this framework, a thorough assessment of the karst geohazard has been performed including a karst features survey, geologic study of karstification, and an assessment of associated ground subsidence related to karst. The main findings indicate the existence of two types of caves: one corresponding to shallow subsurface dissolution caves developed under phreatic conditions in the past and truncated by erosion at a later stage, the other corresponding to large roof collapse caves originating at depth (intrastratal karst). These latter caves are systematically located on the edge of large depressions. In agreement with the existing literature, it is proposed that the depressions and collapse caves are part of a same collapse/sagging process caused by loss of material at depth (e.g., dissolution of evaporites, compaction of weathered dolostone, or incremental collapse of coalesced Izvleček",
