Abstract
Many karst depressions with diameters of 300 m to 500 m, suitable for const ructing Arecibo-style radio telescopes, were identified in the south of Gui zhou Province by Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS ) technologies together with field investigations. Fundamental topography a nd landform databases were established for 391 candidate depressions, and u sing GIS the 3-dimensional images of depressions, at a scale of 1:10000, we re then simulated to fit a spherical antenna.
