  abstract = {{I}n the protection of karstic aquifers, the role played by dolines is of interest as these shallow structures can be preferential infiltration pathways for groundwater recharge. {I}n this study, three depressions in {S}outh {F}rance ({O}rniac, {L}ot) were identified and characterized using combined geophysical methods. {A}pparent conductivity mapping allows precise definition of dolines corresponding to topographic depressions. {I}t also reveals other dolines that are hidden by soil cover. {E}lectrical resistivity and seismic refraction tomography provide detailed cross-sections. {E}ven though the dolines studied are close one to another, they exhibit great variability in shape and content. {M}oreover, time-lapse data show that the most saturated regions are on the edges of the first doline. {S}uch information helps to evaluate human impacts and forecast potential groundwater contamination.},
