This paper presents newly discovered candidate cave entrances into Martian near-surface lava tubes, volcano-tectonic fracture systems, and pit craters and describes their characteristics and exploration possibilities. These candidates are all collapse features that occur either intermittently along laterally continuous trench-like depressions or in the floors of sheer-walled atypical pit craters. As viewed from orbit, locations…

The caves of the Guadalupe Mountains are located in southeastern New Mexico, U.S.A., near the city of Carlsbad (Fig. 1). Over 300 known caves exist in these mountains, the most famous being Carlsbad Cavern and Lechuguilla Cave. These caves are filled with secondary mineral deposits (speleothems), which have been described and classified by Hill (1987)…
Existing methods of cave survey are time consuming and require significantly more time than naturally moving through the cave. The efficiency of these methods, even in the case of state-of-the-art laser-scanning technology, is fundamentally limited by the requirement that measurements be taken at static locations. We present a mobile approach to cave mapping, in which…
The Brazilian semiarid region has a clear distinction between the dry season, which can last up to nine months, and the rainy season. Caves are connected to different extents to surface ecosystems, although they are idealized as stable environments due to their isolation. Furthermore, little is known about the effects of wet and dry seasonal…
Locating caves can be difficult, as their entranceways are often obscured below vegetation. Recently, active remote-sensing technologies, in particular laser-based sensor systems (LiDARs), have demonstrated the ability to penetrate dense forest canopies to reveal the underlying ground topography. An airborne LiDAR system was used to generate a 1 m resolution, bare-earth digital elevation model (DEM)…
