OverviewAI-generated summary

Maurice P. Testa's research interests include the application of photogrammetry and 3D scanning technologies for geological fieldwork. He has investigated methods for outcrop description, 3D modeling, and 3D printing using Gigapan® photogrammetry. His work also explores the accuracy of various scanning software and devices, such as PolyCam 3D scanning software, in different environmental conditions, including low-light settings in littoral caves and field research scenarios. Testa has also studied the spatiotemporal forecasting of coral bleaching using artificial intelligence and has conducted qualitative groundwater tracing in karst aquifers. His collaborations include researchers from the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
