Uno de los\u00a0proyectos liderados por el\u00a0doctor \u00c1ngel Acosta\u00a0de la\u00a0Universidad de Puerto Rico\u00a0en\u00a0Arecibo\u00a0es la caracterizaci\u00f3n de cuevas\u00a0de Puerto Rico.\u00a0En su\u00a0investigaci\u00f3n,\u00a0que busca entender los ecosistemas subterr\u00e1neos del\u00a0Karso\u00a0de Puerto Rico,\u00a0describe\u00a0las\u00a0propiedades geom\u00e9tricas, fisicoqu\u00edmicas, biol\u00f3gicas y geol\u00f3gicas de las cuevas.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

En\u00a0colaboraci\u00f3n con\u00a0el grupo de\u00a0Investigaci\u00f3n\u00a0y\u00a0Educaci\u00f3n\u00a0del\u00a0Karso\u00a0y Cuevas de\u00a0la\u00a0UPR Arecibo,\u00a0trabajan d\u00eda a d\u00eda recogiendo\u00a0muestras\u00a0de\u00a0suelo\u00a0de las\u00a0cuevas\u00a0para\u00a0entender\u00a0su\u00a0composici\u00f3n\u00a0qu\u00edmica\u00a0y\u00a0mineral\u00f3gica\u00a0y\u00a0crean\u00a0trampas\u00a0para\u00a0estudiar\u00a0la\u00a0diversidad\u00a0de la\u00a0mesofauna\u00a0(invertebrados macrosc\u00f3picos del suelo).\u00a0Estos\u00a0hallazgos\u00a0son usados para conocer\u00a0la\u00a0salud\u00a0de la\u00a0cueva.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Un componente importante de\u00a0la investigaci\u00f3n\u00a0del doctor Acosta\u00a0es que,\u00a0adem\u00e1s,\u00a0recogen datos\u00a0geomorfol\u00f3gicos de las cuevas\u00a0con un\u00a0sistema llamado\u00a0LiDAR\u00a0que\u00a0les permite trazar\u00a0mapas en dos y tres dimensiones.\u00a0Esta informaci\u00f3n es clave para mejorar\u00a0la\u00a0exploraci\u00f3n\u00a0y\u00a0el\u00a0estudio\u00a0del\u00a0interior\u00a0de cada cueva.\u00a0Los resultados de\u00a0este trabajo\u00a0han sido publicados y presentados en\u00a0varios\u00a0foros nacionales e internacionales.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Como resultado del esfuerzo de esta investigaci\u00f3n,\u00a0se\u00a0han desarrollado\u00a050 mapas\u00a0de\u00a0diversas cuevas puertorrique\u00f1as.\u00a0Esta informaci\u00f3n\u00a0es\u00a0valiosa\u00a0ya que,\u00a0adem\u00e1s de\u00a0conocer mejor la cueva,\u00a0m\u00e1s\u00a0adelante\u00a0se traducir\u00e1\u00a0en\u00a0la accesibilidad\u00a0al conocimiento y disfrute\u00a0de la cueva\u00a0por m\u00e1s personas;\u00a0por ejemplo,\u00a0aquellas\u00a0con\u00a0impedimentos.
