Abstract

Summary

In this work we measure gravity field variations over an area covering a known cave, and model the observed gravity signal utilizing observed cave rooms and incorporate density variations in the host rock. The aim of the modelling is to test hypotheses of hidden karst features and variations in the lithology introduced by karstification processes that significantly lowers the density.
