Review of Cave Surveying Techniques
Abstract
The main purpose of this article is to compare different mapping techniques, so that an appropriate one may be chosen for a particular cave. Ultra-accurate techniques such as using tripods are not discussed here, as their application is limited to a small minority of caves. Most modem mapping is carried out under time restraints, due to the shortness of an expedition or the difficulty of a cave; thus, rapid mapping techniques are emphasized here.(omitted)
