invite you to participate at the
25th Speleological School
& 8th Symposium GLACKIPR
KARST AND CRYOKARST
Sosnowiec-Wroctaw, Poland March 19-26, 2007
Joint International Symposium
Commission Glacier Caves and Cryokarst in Polar
and High Mountain Regions "GLACKIPR" UIS
& Karst Commission IGU
First circular

Aims and topics
The Speleological School - an international meeting established a few years after discovery of the Niedzwiedzia (Bear) Cave in Kletno has been a traditional talking stop for karst and cave scientists. A 30 year long history and 24 editions of the Speleological School are inextricably linked with the name of its founder and scientific director -Professor Marian Pulina. The 25th Speleological School is dedicated to Professor Marian Pulina and Professor Teresa Wiszniowska (the paleozologist from University of Wroclaw) both our late and much lamented mentors and friends. From the beginning the School was international and multidisciplinary. It brought together classical karst and cave studies and exploration of glacier caves. Professor Marian Pulina was co-founder of the Commission on Glacier Caves and Cryokarst in Polar and High Mountain Regions of the UIS and an active member of the Karst Commission of the IGU. The 25th Speleological School will be both a joint meeting of UIS and IGU Commissions and also the 8th Symposium on Glacier Caves and Cryokarst.
25th Speleological School will offer both - thematic sessions and field trips concerned with the following topics:
o the relationships between glacial and karst systems;
o glacier caves and karst in recently glaciated areas;
o drainage systems in glaciers and karst - analogies and differences;
o cryokarst - definitions, analogies and relationship with carbonate karst;
o chemical denudation rates in glacier covered and ice-free karst basins;
o evolution of karst under glaciations, with special reference to continental glaciations and permafrost;
o hydrothermal activity and its influence on karst evolution in glaciated areas;
o cave sediments, fossil cave fauna and traces of man in caves as records of environmental changes in the past, with special reference to the Pleistocene glaciations.
Open oral and poster sessions dedicated to different karst and cave studies will be organized during the School. Organizers will publish a conference Proceedings. Selected papers will be published in our journal "Kras i speleologia" at the end of 2007. More details and a call for papers will be sent to registered participants.
