CyArk conducted a third independent mission to Bagan in 2017, following two earlier expeditions in collaboration with Carleton University. The 2017 mission took place following a major earthquake in 2016 and the documentation was focused on the extent of damage that occurred to previously surveyed monuments.These expeditions assisted UNESCO and the Myanmar Department of Archaeology (DoA) towards conservation efforts at the massive archaeological site. CyArk and partners utilized LiDAR and both aerial and terrestrial photogrammetry to document the monuments. This expedition was funded through the Google Cultural Institute.
