Theoretical and practical aspects of a new method for underground cavity localization are presented. The method is based on shallow temperature measurements. It is shown that such measurements can complement the geophysical methods most commonly used for cavity location. The results from finite‐difference numerical calculations indicate possible origins of temperature anomalies–the existence of which is confirmed experimentally, primarily by field measurements. Temperature anomalies up to 1°C have been recorded over underground cavities. A satisfactory agreement between measurements and theory is found.
