Welcome to the Speleogenesis Network! (original) (raw)

Speleogenesis.info is a non-profit platform aimed to integrate and promote efforts of the international community of cave and karst scholars in information exchange, communication and collaboration. Speleogenesis.info develops and maintains various networking and information resources (Speleogenesis Network), serving as a hub of collaborative activities of individual researchers and research institutions involved into karst and geospeleology studies. It also supports an online scientific journal, �Speleogenesis and Evolution of Karst Aquifers�, that brings together research on developments in geospeleology and karst science pertinent to the origin and evolution of dissolution caves and conduit permeability.

Atlas of Cave Morphs

Atlas of Cave Morphs is an informal collaborative project of the UIS Commission on Karst Hydrogeology and Speleogenesis run through Speleogenesis Network.

Second edition of the "Hypogene Speleogenesis" book

The National Cave and Karst Research Institute (NCKRI) has released the second edition of the book "Hypogene Speleogenesis: Hydrogeological and Morphogenetic Perspective," originally published in 2007 as NCKRI Special Paper no.1.

Planetary Caves Workshop

If you have not yet contemplated submitting an abstract for the upcoming First International Planetary Caves workshop to be held in Carlsbad, NM from Oct. 25-28 of this year, the time is now! August 9, next Tuesday, is the deadline and LPI is extremely unforgiving of late abstracts meaning we cannot accept any past the Aug. 9 deadline (5:00 p.m. U.S. Central Daylight Time (GMT-5). The meeting is jointly sponsored by:

KIP and Speleogenesis:
The Speleogenesis site reconstruction coincided with the launch of the Karst Information Portal�(KIP). The goals of KIP and Speleogenesis.info Network largely coincide but this does not mean competition and duplication of efforts. The UIS Commission of Karst Hydrogeology and Speleogenesis is one of the KIP partners.� Speleogenesis.info Network serves to support and internationally promote the KIP development as an evolving global karst information initiative. The two sites are coordinated in both organisational and technical aspects.

KIP has a broader scope and a major role in integrating existing resources in the whole field of cave and karst science.

Speleogenesis.info Network is biased to karst and geospeleology areas. It further develops its previously established community services and is focused on initiating and developing new resources and services of need for the community, especially those where broad international linkage and networking is crucial. It will serve as a test ground for new networking/collaborative initiatives aimed to creation of new resources. When established, such resources will be integrated to KIP.�����

This site critically depends on initiatives and input of Speleogenesis Network members and the broader cave&karst community. The�site�is one of the tools for the research community to initiate and develop collaborative projects and organise efforts on serving its own needs.

Everyone willing to contribute to fostering global collaboration in cave and karst science and developing relevant information services and research resources is kindly invited to register to the Speleogenesis Network. The Network offers a number of possibilities to keep you informed and involved.

We'll be grateful for your comments, ideas and suggestions:�welcome�to�Speleogenesis�Forum!�
