Rockhampton-based CQUniversity student Lydia Georgeson has transformed an old map of the Capricorn Caves into a 3D version.
Ms Georgeson, who was studying a Bachelor of Science (Applied Biology), collaborated with her supervisors, faculty from the School of Engineering and IT and her employer Capricorn Caves, to update the old cave map.
She undertook this project as part of one of her university units.
“The original map for the caves was used for tours from the late 1940s and has never been updated,” she said.
The 23 year old said she used LiDAR scanner technology to develop the new 3D maps.

Central Queensland clinicians and health teams are gearing up for another eight-week “research capacity building” program.
The Research Ready Grant Program, which enters its fourth year during a launch Thursday evening, is a collaboration between the CQ Hospital Service, CQUniversity and the University’s of Queensland’s rural clinical school in Rockhampton.
Participants include not only doctors but also administration staff, nurses and other clinicians.
Designed to grow multi-disciplinary research and improve patient care outcomes, the program has already proved successful in producing research and attracting professionals to stay and work in the region.
CQUni’s Deputy Dean (Research), Associate Professor Tracy Flenady said the previous years’ programs led to outcomes including research prizes and six articles accepted into peer-reviewed journals.
