Totally fascinating! We should collect all of these for a sott article. Doesn't need much text, just organize it by date.

SotT has an article now, but it doesn't cover many of those mentioned here, only a few and the most obvious:

Maybe we should do a different classification between the lakes disappearing in one night (as if they were swallowed by a sinkhole) and those which are drying "slowly" (because of human activity, for example). Even a third option is, as the phenomena of Medicine lake (Canada), a season's phenomena (disappearing and re-appearing every year).

The three part classification seems like a viable and promising approach to me -- not only for now but also as a basis for reporting future developments.

Point is, some one has to organize the stuff already mentioned into a readable compilation suitable for publication on SotT. Maybe post it in here first for comment and then signal the editors when it's ready for 'print'. Cannot volunteer to do this myself as I'm already very busy with the Historical Database project.

I can do it, as there is no much to classify. Maybe these kinds of events will increase, but till now, they stay a minority.

Could someone give me some advice for how to make an interactive map ?

Thanks for volunteering, stardust.

The only interactive map that I know of (apart from the one SotT recently launched) can be found here: [Sinkholes] creating a google map pinpointing all of them for 2012.

The first post there refers to Session July 22, 2012 where the idea of making it was launched and discussed. That session thread is 36 pages long so I didn't quite catch the exact place. Sorry about that.

Forum members Kios and Muxel are the ones who have taken care of the technicalities of that map. Maybe you could PM them with a direct request for details of the procedure when you cannot find enough indications and instructions in the July 22 session thread.

Hope this helps a bit. Good luck! :)

I might be in the field and I hope that Mr Scott will say so if it is the case, but maybe we could incorporate those in the map that Mr Scott has created for Sott.

You can see the map on sott.net either in french, english, spanish, german. It is the second icon from the left side after the mike icon and before the FB icon.
