From a random Floridian: Thanks for posting this. I was already familiar with most of the geological history and hydrology of Florida, but it was very interesting to learn about some of the engineering, economics, and politics of sinkholes. Plus it’s always fun to hear our town names pronounced with an English accent. Cheers!
When I started home shopping in Florida (2019) there was a lot of mis-information on sinkholes. I tried to do my homework, but lots of the data I gathered turned out to be wrong. My parcel has ~ 70ft of vertical drop from the top of the driveway to the back corner, and the erosion is something I never even imagined possible, based on my Southern New England background.
Hi, didn't get chance to watch the lecture live, but great to catch up on You Tube (First subscription to Geological Society on YT to). Thanks for a thorough and comprehensive geology of Florida, very interesting and great to understand a different areas geology :-)
David Wishaw excellent video , many tens of thousands of Floridians now deeply concerned with the issue of "subsidence" since the tragic failure and collapse of Champlain Towers. I would be very interested if you can issue another video on the topic of soil subsidence and building supertall residential buildings on the waterfront areas in Florida. Thanks in advance.

I remember the winter park sink hole well, and drive by it often.
Thank you for this lecture! I live in the Pacific NW but visit my cousin in Sebring almost every year. I loved learning more about Florida geology!
Thank you! Very informative, and will add to my toolbox as I navigate a move from Homestead to regions farther north.
