2nd International Cave Monitoring Workshop

Three years after the 1st International Cave Monitoring Workshop held in Gibraltar (26 February – 1 March 2009) a second workshop is planned along the lines of the initial concept of two days of informal presentations with discussion and a joint cave trip.

The planned dates for this workshop are April 18-22, 2012.

The workshop will focus entirely on the practical aspects of environmental monitoring in caves, and will encompass strategies for monitoring of the hydrology and meteorology of cave systems, instrumentation and data logging, sampling and analysis protocols, and in-situ studies of carbonate precipitation and other cave processes.
