Картиране на пещера Пепелянката
Картирането на пещера Пепелянката, което направихме през 2012 г. с Атанас Русев (Клуб "Екстрем") и Аспарух Камбуров ("Българска геоинформационна компания"), доби популярност. За него се изписаха материали, но ако една снимка казва повече от хиляди думи, то сега ще ви изсипя цял камион под формата на видео:
Multi-sensor Cave Detection
Tanya Slavova & Atanas Rusev
Caves are important for a wide variety of work fields, ranging from construction engineering to mineral exploration and archaeology. Despite their scientific importance, geologists expect that only a relatively small number of caves have been discovered so far. Current exploration efforts are mainly done by speleologists, but this is a time-consuming activity and limited to exploration based on existing surface openings. The authors of this article show that the combination of multiple geophysical techniques provides an easier and effective on-surface exploration method that meets the challenges of complex karst environments.

Analysis of the Applied Gravimetric Techniques for Detection of Underground Cavities

Gravimetric methods are based on the natural gravity field of Earth. Measuring it with high accuracy and resolution makes it possible to resolve a variety of issues - from fundamental problems to tasks of small scale but large significance. Technological progress during the last decades have also expanded the applications, and the principle, which gravimetric methods are based on, confirmed their applicability for certain targets.
Cavities are features with typically high density contrast to the surrounding rock. On one hand, their detection is a classical gravimetric task. On the other hand, exploring their exact location, shape and size is an important issue for engineering, various sciences and ecology.
