Short summary
Karst phenomena arise through dissolution, and the resulting landscapes are characterised by caves which focus the transport of water underground. To better understand geometry of these conduits at various scales, we mapped caves with laser scanners and built models of the walls to constitute the KarstConduitCatalogue. These mapping techniques allow us to measure cave geometries accurately. This paper describes how we acquired and curated the dataset and explores possible geoscientific uses.
