Hex Code-based Geological Cross-sections Describing Landscape Dynamics in the Jeju Geomunoreum Lava Tube System

Researchers have identified distinct differences between upstream and downstream caves within the Jeju Geomunoreum Lava Tube System (GLTS). Using hex codes to analyze microbial mat-influenced wall colors, they created detailed illustrations that capture the scale and geological features of six lava caves. This method provides a comprehensive visual representation of the GLTS's internal and external environments, including volcanic formations and vegetation, while adhering to strict conservation protocols for these fragile ecosystems.
