Annual Report Cover 2011_Spread 8/10/11 11:28 AM Page 1 National Cave and Karst Research Institute 2010-2011 400-1 Cascades Avenue Carlsbad, New Mexico 88220-6215, USA ANNUAL REPORT www.nckri.org www.nckri.org The National Cave and Karst Research Institute (NCKRI) will be the world’s premier cave and karst research organization, facilitating and conducting programs in re- search, education, data management, and stewardship in all fields of speleology through its own efforts and by establish- ing an international consortium of partners whose individual efforts will be supported to promote cooperation, synergy, flexibility, and creativity. NCKRI was created by the U.S. Congress in 1998 in partnership with the State of New Mexico and the City of Carlsbad. Initially an institute within the National Park Ser- vice, NCKRI is now a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation that retains its federal, state, and city partnerships. Federal and state funding for NCKRI is administered by the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (aka New Mexico Tech or NMT). Funds not produced by agreements through NMT are accepted directly by NCKRI. NCKRI’s enabling legislation, the National Cave and Karst Research Institute Act of 1998, 16 U.S.C. §4310, iden- tifies NCKRI’s mission as to: 1) further the science of speleology; 2) centralize and standardize speleological information; 3) foster interdisciplinary cooperation in cave and karst research programs; 4) promote public education; 5) promote national and international cooperation in pro- tecting the environment for the benefit of cave and karst landforms; and 6) promote and develop environmentally sound and sus- tainable resource management practices. -
Role of Bacteria in the Growth of Cave Pearls
13th International Congress of Speleology 4th Speleological Congress of Latin América and Caribbean 26th Brazilian Congress of Speleology Brasília DF, 15-22 de julho de 2001 Role of Bacteria in the Growth of Cave Pearls Michal GRADZIÒSKI Institute of Geological Sciences, Jagiellonian University, Oleandry 2a, 30-063 KrakÛw, Poland, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The growth of micritic cave pearls have been studied based on ones collected in Perlova Cave (Slovakia). The pearls display rough surfaces and irregular internal lamination. Several living bacteria have been detected inside the biofilm which covered still growing cave pearls. These bacteria produce organic matter from inorganic, gaseous CO2 dissolved in water and hence cause oversaturation with respect to calcite within the bacterial surroundings. Thus calcite precipitation is due to the bacterial metabolism. SEM investigations indicate that the precipitation proceeds upon the surfaces of the bacterial cells. This process results in mineral replicas of bacterial cells and finally causes almost complete obliteration of primary microbial structures The bacteria uptake preferentially 16O and cause relative enrichment of heavier isotope (18O) in the bacterial surroundings and in precipitating calcite. Introduction Cave pearls, known also as cave pisoids, have been reported in literature for a long time (HILL & FORTI, 1997). This group of speleothems includes a broad spectrum of grains varying in shape and internal structure. Best known are the forms with smooth, lustrous surface and regular concentric lamination. The smooth and shining outer surface of these pisoids is related to abrasion on contacts with neighbouring grains and substrate (BAKER & FROSTICK, 1947). Additional recognised prerequisites for their growth include the presence of suitable nuclei for the grain growth, supersaturated state of the solution from which the grains crystallise, and constant, balanced supply of water to the environment of their growth (GRADZI—SKI & RADOMSKI, 1967; DONAHUE, 1969). -

Cavern Geology Lesson Plan 1
Thank you to the Sierra Nevada Recreation Corporation: Moaning Cavern, Black Chasm Cavern and California Cavern for permission to use their classroom lesson plan material. Cavern Geology Lesson 1: What is a Cavern? OBJECTIVE Students will learn to identify the different types of caves. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Cave or Cavern? Is there a difference between a cave and a cavern? This is a frequently asked question, and many people use the terms interchangeably. However, there is a difference. A cave is any cavity in the ground that is large enough that some portion of it will not receive direct sunlight. There are many types of caves (discussed in this lesson plan). A cavern is a specific type of cave, naturally formed in soluble rock with the ability to grow speleothems. So, although a cavern can accurately be called a cave (since it is a type of cave), all caves cannot be called caverns. Caves Caves can be classified into two main categories known as primary and secondary. This classification is based on their origin. Primary caves are developed as the host rock is solidifying. Examples of primary caves include lava tubes and coral caves (descriptions follow). Secondary caves are carved out of the host rock after it has been deposited or consolidated. Most caves fall in the secondary category. However, some primary caves may later be enlarged by the forces associated with secondary cave development. Listed here are the main types of caves, and how they are formed: Coral Caves When colonies of coral in shallow water expand and unite, they form lacy or bulbous walls around an open area. -

MIT SUMMIT from Skiing, Snowboarding and Mountaineering Experiences
Bulgaria boasts the full range of terrains, landscapes and opportunities for adventure any outdoor enthusiast may dream of. Mountains rising over 2,900 m, more FROM SUMMIT than 200 mountain lodges and over 300 alpine lakes, clearwater rivers and canyons, tens of thousands of kilometres of marked hiking trails, a well-developed system of TO SEA protected areas, and more than 300 km of coastline. ADVENTURE TRAVEL ADVENTURE TRAVEL ADVENTURE Every time of the year brings new adventure. In spring we open the rafting, kayaking and FOUR canyoning season along high-water rivers, we climb old and new routes, we marvel at the sheer scale of bird migration, and we pitch camp for a long, nine-month season that’s also great for SEASONS cycling throughout. In summer we hike through cool ancient forests, we balance on challenging rocky arêtes, we fly, we surf, we dive and enjoy plunging in water. In autumn we are still high up in the mountains, hiking and trekking, and we continue camping. Winter rewards us with great skiing, snowboarding and mountaineering experiences. bulgariatravel.org ADVENTURE TRAVEL bulgariatravel.org 360mag.bg hiking-bulgaria.com stenata.com 2021 ADVENTURE TRAVEL IN BULGARIA - AIR - CONTENTS 74 PARA-/ HANG GLIDING Sopot 75 SKYDIVING Montana - HIGHLIGHTS - 76 BUNGEE 6 FROM SEA TO SUMMIT 77 HOT-AIR BALLOONS FOUR SEASONS 8 - MOUNTAINS - - CYCLING - 32 NATURAL DIVERSITY 58 MARKED/TRACKED ROAD AND MOUNTAIN BIKE ROUTES 34 MOUNTAIN LODGES AND SPORTS CENTRES Rudopia Belmeken High-Altitude Sports Complex Trans- Rhodope Bike Trail Malyovitsa
