RESISTIVITY IMAGING


Imaging the rock structures between and around the deep sinkholes of Sistema
Zacatón can reveal many details of their morphological history.  A third spatial data set to compliment the LADAR and  SONAR datasets will be one generated from Earth Resistivity geophysical methods.  In January, 2002, Markus Lagmanson of Advanced Geosciences Incorporated will join our team and experiment with the application of using a SuperSting instrument to identify geomorphic structures below the rock surface.  This method has proven successful at locating caves, voids, fractures, and water density variations quite well, and this spatial information may lead to improving our understanding of how the unique caves of Sistema Zacatón have formed.
