    Extractions: A Glossary of Terms by Max Meth It is essential that cavers keep up to date with terms in common usage, so I offer a few more. Some of my terms are based on a list by Ed Bailey in CEGSA NEWS of May 1972 p5. COLLOQUIAL TERMS ANCHOR A heavy rock, tied to the end of a rope, which is then dropped down a pitch to ascertain the depth. BAT The sound heard when a flying mammal flies overhead and excretes on one's head. BEDROCK At the cavers dinner, the last dance of the evening before everyone leaves to go home. CAVE SURVEYOR A person who takes the time to accurately measure a cave passage, but has no idea of the passage of time. CRAWL CRAWL What cavers do when they don't have access to a cave that they wish to visit. FLOWSTONE Cavers affectionate name for Florence Stone, who in 1611 invented Stones, 'Green Ginger Wine'. FOSSIL CHAMBER A place where elderly cavers can play cards and watch TV.

CRU affiliation and sub-units The CRU is a part of the Department of Geography, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The CRU offices are located it the Department of Geography, Mount Scopus Campus, Jerusalem; and at Ofra, a village half an hour drive north of Jerusalem. Both offices are operated by the same staff. The office in Ofra serves as a front base for expedition work, containing most field equipment and the library. The CRU office in Jerusalem deals with research and university teaching. CRU database We collect any cave and karst data and file it within our database. Two systems of data organization are used. The 'old' filing system is based on regional files, each covering 20x20 km. The basic data is gradually transferred into the 'new' system, based on GIS (Geographical Information System). The new system allows elaborate spatial data analysis. It is being used for geomorphic, environmental, and hydrological studies.

    Extractions: Abundant quantities of allogenic clastic sediments are often preserved within cave systems. Geomorphic and palaeoenvironmental data can be obtained from these deposits in a similar manner to those recorded from other sediment sinks. Sediment cores have been collected from several caves in the Matienzo region of northern Spain. Magnetic susceptibility profiles have been obtained for these samples in order to begin a reconstruction of the karstic evolution of the area. Four groups of caves are distinguished by their variation in susceptibility values. Provisional findings and discussions are presented along with planned future investigations. The Matienzo karst is located in the northern Spanish province of Cantabria, ( FIGURE 1 ). The region presents several examples of well developed karstic features including the 26km2 karst depression ( PLATE 1 ), after which the area is named and the numerous extensive cave systems that are found beneath the surrounding hillslopes. The depression appears to have evolved under assiduous karstic processes over an estimated minimum of 1.8 million years (Waltham, 1981.). Over one thousand cave entrances have been located and mapped in the area the longest of which, La Sistema de los Cuatro Valles, being over 41km long. The principal caves are shown in ( FIGURE 2 ). Many of the caves are phreatic in origin, (

    Extractions: Abstract Karst terrains are widespread and caused by the dissolution of carbonate rocks. Karst geomorphology is the study of the landforms associated with karst terrains and the processes that form them. Karst geomorphology was once studied using the cyclic concept developed by William Morris Davis. However, today it is realized by the scientific community that karst is developed due to certain processes which act upon the landscape. Factors influencing karst development are the quality and abundance of the carbonate bedrock, the climate, and the hydrology of the areas in which it forms. Karst areas are fragile and highly susceptible to contamination. Because 25% of the earths population is influenced by the presence of karst, it is important that people take an interest in learning about karst terrains. Introduction Karst areas are special, exciting, and possibly dangerous places. People are often fascinated by areas of karst, and many rely on them for natural resources such as water. The study of karst landforms has been subject to change over the last one hundred years and today is looked at from the perspective of processes. After discussing some of these landforms, we will look at the relationship between humans and karst landscapes. What is Karst?

References Introduction to Karst Karst terrain is a complicated and widespread phenomenon present on the surface of the earth.  Karst can be defined as “terrain with distinctive characteristics of relief and drainage arising primarily from the solution of soluble bedrock by natural waters” (Hanson, 2003).  Many different landforms can appear in this topography, including caves, sinkholes, towers and solution valleys.  Sinkholes are considered to be very indicative of karst terrain, being the fundamental identifying landform of this type of topography (Ford et al., 1989).  The word karst has evolved from the Slovenian word kras, which is defined as “stony bare ground.”  The Kras is an area of widespread and well developed karst in what is now Croatia (Web Reference 1, 2003).  Although karst landforms are not widely recognized by the general public, this type of terrain covers about 10% of the surface of the Earth.  It is estimated that approximately 25% of the world population lives near these areas and is supplied water from them (Web Reference 3, 2003).  It is obvious that karst terrain is an important area of study as it impacts so much of the world. Karst topography is most commonly found in carbonate rocks, including limestone and dolomite, as well as some evaporites.  These areas are characterized by closed surface depressions and a well developed drainage system (Web Reference 3, 2003).  There is a distinctive lack of surface water in the form of streams and lakes, due to infiltration into the underground system (Web Reference 1, 2003).

At present she is involved in a three year research collaboration with the Geological Institute, University of Bergen, Norway.

The cultural - historical value The beauty and aesthetic value of the natural landscape of the Bay reflects the shapes and colours of jewels. However, the geological structure and materials of the Bay have created these jewels. Ha Long Bay area has many valuable features of the Quaternary period. The sediment layers, the upper sea bed with plain surface, ancient rivers submerged by the sea, systems of caves and deposits of sediments, traces of ancient marine action forming distinctive notches are important evidence for researching variations in old and modern sea levels and the development of ancient cultures such as the Soi Nhu, Pre Ha Long, Ha Long and present-day cultures. Ha Long Bay is a fine example of a bay created by a system of boundary islands. It is a tidal bay and has typical tidal currents which are among the strongest in the world, and the chemical denudation process of calcium carbonate proceeds. Remnants of old phreatic caves: as in Sung Sot, Tam Cung, Lau Dai, Thien Cung, Dau Go and Thien Long... caves and grottoes.

    Extractions: By Parris Lyew-Ayee, School of Geography and the Environment, University of Oxford Editor's note: Parris Lyew-Ayee, a doctoral student in the School of Geography and the Environment, University of Oxford, United Kingdom, is using GIS in his study of karst geomorphology not only as a research tool but also to manage and optimize his fieldwork. He is working in a unique region in the interior of western Jamaica called Cockpit Country. The area's thousands of depressions, caused by the erosion of limestone, were thought to resemble cockfighting arenas of 17th century England. Its rugged terrain has limited human incursions and helped preserve the area's biodiversity. With its deep karst depressions surrounded by residual hills, the Jamaican Cockpit Country is the type area for the cockpit variety of karst landscape. GIS was used to conduct a comprehensive morphometric [shape measurement] survey of the landscape and its features to unambiguously characterize the nature of cockpit karst in its type area and compare these landscapes with noncockpit karst areas as well as distinctly nonkarst areas from other parts of the planet. Such detailed morphometric investigations would provide information about how such landscapes evolved and the factors that control their development.
