    y El karst en cifras ¿cuáles son las mayores cavidades del mundo y por qué? Karst in figure: which are the major cavities of the world and why? Pedro Agustín Robledo Ardila1, Juan José Durán Valsero2 Y Eulogio Pardo Fundamentos Conceptuales Didácticos Iguzquiza2 1 Unidad del IGME en las Islas Baleares. C/Felicià Fuster 7, 07006, Palma de Mallorca, Baleares. E-mail: [email protected] 2 IGME. C/Ríos Rosas nº 23, 28003, Madrid. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Resumen Entre los terrenos kársticos superficiales y subterráneos, las cuevas son, actualmente para determinados colectivos, el producto más interesante del karst y, que de forma creciente, ha atraído la curiosidad humana desde que los seres humanos habitan el Planeta. Prueba de ello son los restos de arte rupestre y yacimientos paleontológicos descritos en muchas cuevas o el creciente número de visitantes anuales que tienen. Sin embargo, en las últimas décadas los equipos de científicos y espeleólogos se han ocupado especialmente del karst en términos de cifras, con especial énfasis en grandes cavidades. Bien, atendiendo al tamaño de las mismas en su desarrollo horizontal o vertical, o de forma parcial, midiendo volúmenes de galerías y conductos, cámaras o espeleotemas, entre otros elementos. Existen exhaustivos rankings de los sistemas de cavidades de mayor longitud total de galerías exploradas, de las salas más grandes, de las cuevas más profundadas o de los espeleotemas más grandes en su tipo. Esto ha condicionando que, por un lado, exista un auge en la investigación de los sistemas endokársticos más grandes del mundo, y por otro, que paisajes superficiales kársticos espectaculares del Planeta hayan pasado a un segundo orden en cuanto a el interés científico o turístico.

    CAVE DIVERS ASSOCIATION OF AUSTRALIA INCORPORATED IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA 40TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATING 40 YEARS IN 2013 AGM and Symposium 2013 This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Cave Divers Association of Australia (CDAA). To celebrate, we are holding an exciting two day event on the 9th and 10th of November in conjunction with this year’s Annual General Meeting (AGM). There will be a number of talks, demonstrations and displays, at which we will also be inviting public participation. Speakers will include notable Australian and international cave divers. We are also planning on inviting various dignitaries including representatives from local and state government, private land owners and the local media. The venue, the Main Corner, is conveniently located in the centre of town at 1 Bay Road, Mount Gambier. The Symposium will be held in the Dress Circle commencing at 9:00am. The AGM will follow at 6:00pm and dinner will be served in City Hall at 7:30pm. We hope that you can join us to celebrate 40 years of CDAA history. 2013 SYMPOSIUM AGENDA & GUEST SPEAKERS PAGE 1 ~ GUEST SPEAKER BIO’S ~ Peter Horne & Ian Lewis Peter Horne & Ian Lewis are two of the CDAA’s longest serving members and their contributions to the Association are themselves “historic”. Both have acted in official capacity as Office Bearers, both have been amongst the first to find, explore and map a multitude of sites and both have had to work hard to ensure that the CDAA has continued access to many sites that it retains today. Peter “Puddles” Horne became interested in Mount Gambier's underground realm in 1976 after a workmate introduced him to Ewen's Ponds.

  • ADM Issue 6 Finnished
    As divers we are explor- ers who look closely, examine carefully, and investigate fully. Our travels take us to the vast unexplored space beneath the waters surface. For many, this space is also a New Frontier filled with the joy, wonder, richness, and possibilities that will support the future of humankind. As we push into the 21st century, we find ourselves in the presence of the most up- to-date advanced technology for underwater exploration. We recognize, applaud, and better yet, use this equipment to assist in this never-ending exploration. With the advent of inventions such as the new mixed gas decompression computers, allowing extensive dives using helium-based breathing gases; high intensity discharge arch lights with extremely long burn times; deep set DPVs, capable of higher speeds and long penetration distances; and high end photography and digital video equipment capable of extreme depth ratings, the ocean's once dark unex- plored world is now alit with its awesome magnificence. All this new technology allows the diver to visit and document what was once visions just ten years ago. As our underworld explorations expand, so will ADM expand to include all this new breathtaking up-to-date technology and what it brings to today's advanced diver and his or her world. Additionally, readers can now look forward to a sixteen-page increase filled to the brim. ADM widens its horizons by highlighting photographers and their underwater expo- sures. ADM is also adding a section that will focus on trend-setting new equipment. We look forward to sharing more with you as we also look forward to you submitting your ideas, comments, and articles.
