  • Cave Research Foundation (CRF) Is a 501(C)(3) Organization Founded in Kentucky in 1957 for the Purpose of Facilitating Cave Research
    CAVE RESEARCH FOUNDATION Ozarks Operation Area by Scott House The Cave Research Foundation (CRF) is a 501(c)(3) organization founded in Kentucky in 1957 for the purpose of facilitating cave research. Today it continues its mission with operations across the country and in expeditions around the world. The CRF is administered by officers, a board and an operations council. An operations manager is appointed by the CRF board to coordinate and oversee activities within an operation. Other individuals within the operation may head specific projects or act as functionaries of one sort or another. Following is a brief description of various CRF Ozarks Operation projects. Mark Twain National Forest: CRF works with Mark Twain National Forest (USFS) through a series of cooperative agreements and modifications. These cooperative agreements superseded challenge cost-share agreements and volunteer agreements. Cave Mapping and Biological Inventory: This has been our largest and longest running project. It originated in 1990 with a management concern centered on an application by the Doe Run Company for mineral prospecting within the Eleven Point and Current River watersheds. The aim was to document all caves within the 250 square kilometer mineral lease area by detailed mapping, biological inventory and comprehensive descriptions. More than 120 caves were visited and documented over the 6 year course of the study. Following on from that initial phase, MTNF has continued to provide funding, through one vehicle or another, for an expanded project which is gradually documenting caves throughout the Mark Twain National Forest. Approximately 450 caves have been documented during this ongoing study.

  • DRAFT 8/8/2013 Updates at Chapter 59 -- Three Tales of Two St
    Chapter 59 -- Three Tales of Two St. Pauls Chute's Cave Let us briefly move to St. Paul's Minnesota's neighbor, Minneapolis. When S.H. Chute excavated a 2.5-meter tunnel to provide water to his Phoenix Four Mill in 1864, the project encountered a cave and was abandoned. A bulkhead built during 1875 excavation for a tailrace, however, made the suitable for sub-urban excursions. From the Saint Paul and Minneapolis Pioneer and Tribune, August 26 of the following year, Chute's Cave -- A Boat Ride of 2,000 Feet Under Main Street. The mouth of the "Chute's Cave" is just below the springs, and the bottom of this cave is covered with about eighteen inches of water. For the moderate sum of ten cents you can take a seat in a boat with a flaming torch at the bow, and with a trusty pilot sail up under Main street a distance of about 2,000 feet, between pure white sandstone, and under a limestone arch which forms the roof. It is an inexpensive and decidedly interesting trip to take. Stereopticon view showing a flat- bottomed boat and pole. Saint Paul and Minneapolis Pioneer and Tribune, December 1, 1889, But a few years ago not a day passed that did not bring in visitors. A stream of water ran the whole length of the cave, and for the small consideration of a dime, a grim, Charon-like individual would undertake to convey, in a rude sort of a boat, all visitors, who were inclined, for the distance of a quarter or a mile or thereabouts into the gloomy passage.

  • The Importance of Cave Exploration to Scientific Research
    Patricia Kambesis – The importance of cave exploration to scientific research. Journal of Cave and Karst Studies, v. 69, no. 1, p. 46–58. THE IMPORTANCE OF CAVE EXPLORATION TO SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH PATRICIA KAMBESIS 1906 College Heights Blvd, Hoffman Environmental Research Institute, Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, Kentucky 42101, [email protected] Abstract: Of the many objects of scientific interest, caves present a unique challenge because, except for entrance areas, caves are largely hidden from view. As a consequence, caves have not generally attracted the attention of mainstream scientists. With the exception of cave entrances noted on some topographic maps, most caves are not apparent from topographic maps, satellite and LANDSAT imagery, or aerial photographs. Caves and their features exist in an environment with no natural light and contain a myriad of physical and psychological obstacles. It is the cave explorer who ventures past these obstacles, motivated by curiosity and the desire to find and document places previously unknown. Systematic cave exploration is a two-fold process that involves the physical pursuit and discovery of caves and cave systems, and field documentation that provides baseline data in the form of cave survey data and notes, cave entrance and cave/karst feature locations and inventories, written observations, and photo-documentation. These data are synthesized into cave maps, topographic overlays, narrative descriptions, and reports that serve as exploration tools for finding more passages and caves. Systematic documentation and its derivative products also bring the hidden nature of caves and their features to the attention of scientists and provide a basis not only for cave-related research but for a wide range of related scientific endeavors.
