What is it about?
The paper handles geomatics techniques in additional to geophysical measurements, i.e. gravity data, and GPS data, i.e. static and RTK GPS observations to map undiscovered caves.

Why is it important?
Airborne gravimetry and GPS data, especially in RTK mode can provide a wide-coverage in a short time span and in a cheaper manner compared to terrestrial gravimetry. Such measurements can be elaborated to detect undiscovered caves, which might be of a great scientific, touristic and economic value.
Perspectives
The same procedure could be applied to areas famous with cave existence to detect small caves.
