		speleology SPELEOLOGY [speleology], systematic exploration of caves, popularly called spelunking.
		One application of speleology is the tracing of the movement of underground waters to prevent water pollution.

	Speleology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term speleology is also sometimes applied to the recreational activity of exploring caves, but this is more properly known as caving, spelunking or potholing.
		Speleology is a cross-disciplinary field that combines the knowledge of chemistry, biology, geology, meteorology and cartography to develop portraits of caves as complex, evolving systems.
		The growth of speleology is directly linked with that of the sport of caving, both because of the stimulation of public interest and awareness, and the fact that most speleological field-work has been conducted by sport cavers.

	SOME CONCEPTS IN SPELEOLOGY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		According with the author, the “speleology”is the discipline concerned with the study of caves, of their genesis and evolutions, of the physical environment which they represent, of their past and present biological populations, and of the means and techniques appropriate to study them”.
		Here it is included speleomythology — which is devoted to the understanding of myths, legends, and religious pratices associated with caves; and the economic speleology — which is concerned with the various uses made by man of these environment.
		From the point of view of sportsmen, the speleology does not encourage the competiton, the challenge, or the conquest of nature, but rather the teamwork, looking forward the observation, the documentation and the contemplation.

	BCRA Publications: Speleology
		It is difficult to be precise at the moment, because the scope of Speleology depends, to some extent on whether the title Caves and Caving is taken up by the new national body (NNB), sometime in late 2003 or early 2004.
		Speleology would also be an appropriate place for reports from BCRA's Biological Recorder, and we would also welcome articles from the various non-BCRA SIGs that exist - such as Archaeology, the Librarian's Group, and so on.
		Speleology will be a suitable place for preliminary reports, and reports of grant applications.

		Men have visited caves for a long time, but speleology started about 20 000 yr BP when the human frequentation of caves was no longer “accidental”.
		The development of caving activities may be subdivided into three periods: prehistory (in which no written report exists), protohistory (in which documentation is available but speleology is not yet that of today) and history (which conventionally started with E. Martel).
