    Michigan Tech Researchers Bring Forgotten Underground Mines into a 3D Future

    What began as a stack of fragile, century-old mine maps is being transformed into an immersive 3D window into the past by archaeologists, energy policy experts and data scientists at Michigan Technological University. One of the most promising frontiers of discovery isn't "out there" — it's beneath our feet. Under the forests and towns of Michigan's Upper Peninsula lies a vast, mostly forgotten world of tunnels and shafts, remnants of the region's mining heyday. Researchers at Michigan Tech are using computing power to bring that world and its possibilities back into view through a collaboration between Michigan Tech's College of Computing and College of Sciences and Arts (CSA).
