Predicting the future by analysing the past

Documenting the effects of time
ITG将在五到10年的时间内监视Cenote的深渊。它的冰非常适合古气候研究，因为它从未受到人类的打扰，研究人员可以更好地遵循ICE的长期运动和体积变化。

得益于洞穴的高海拔位置，恶劣的天气条件以及1994年的污水坑倒塌时首次发现洞穴的事实，冰川冰绝对是纯净的。

ScanStation P40帮助完成了38次高质量的低噪声扫描，并使用极其逼真的3D彩色点云，以供研究人员监测。

Alessio Romeo, photographer and geologist, Tommaso Santagata, surveyor and UAV pilot, and Francesco Sauro, professor at the University of Bolgona, all members of La Venta association, worked on the ITG project and were extremely impressed with the collected results. The ScanStation P40 collected long-range scans from the cave’s entrance to a depth of -130 metres inside the cave.

Leica Viva GS16 GNSS智能天线还测量了洞穴入口外的三个固定点，以便将来对洞穴内外的海拔和地形变化进行所有监视。

“Working with Leica Geosystems solutions ensured us data with high precision extremely fast – within minutes – even the parts with ice. We could always carry out our scanning, which is actually amazing, considering the difficult and dangerous environment where the equipment has been used,” said Santagata.
