Predicting the future by analysing the past

Author: Katherine Lehmuller, December 2016

Ancient and mysterious.

每一个白云岩山都讲述了过去的故事。他们可以讲什么故事。例如探索意大利最深的洞穴之一，cenote的深渊，位于扇形 - 赛车 - 布雷斯国家公园（Fanes-Senes-Braies National Park）海平面以上3000米。

意大利地理探索协会拉文塔（La Venta）领导着一个称为“冰川内部”（ITG）的主要项目。该项目研究冰川和冰洞寻找答案，以更好地了解全球变暖对白云岩的影响。

In 2015, a Leica HDS 7000 scanner helped researchers generate a 3D scan of the innermost chamber of the 285 m deep ice cave, documenting the volume of the rock-walled depression (more than 400,000 cubic metres).

In 2016, a second expedition of the same cave was completed. This time, researchers documented the evolution of the ice’s behaviour inside the cave in order to understand and compare climate changes occurring in the Dolomites today. The Leica ScanStation P40 laser scanner was acquired for this excursion due to its:

• 极端耐用性
• Long range scanning distances of up to 270 metres
• Durability up to temperatures of -20° Celsius.

海拔3,000米的天气非常不可预测和严重。ITG团队的时间很短，可以收集数据。因此，在可行的期间，设备had to work– regardless of freezing temperatures or conditions in the cave.
