Scientific Speleological sports program "Sea Caves of Ukraine" was adopted in 2006. To the end of 2013 there are following interim results of "Sea program". The mainland coast of Ukraine from Romania to the Russian border has been entirely examined. The large part of the Crimea coast has been surveyed. In the south-west, coast survey has been conducted to the southern outskirts of Constanta in Romania. The coast in Bulgaria has been inspected selectively. In the eastern part, the coast from the Kuban delta to the southern part of Gelendzhik has been inspected. 24 speleological sites are allocated on the inspected coast. 364 sea caves have been documented. The largest known sea cave is Kipchak-2, having length of 250 m. 5 caves have a length exceeding 100 m.

39 years old, graduated from the Moscow State University, software engineer by profession, since 2005 live in Belgium. A cave diver and an amateur speleologist. Due to living almost in the center of Western Europe I have a happy opportunity to cave in Belgian and European caves. What started from an innocent curiosity turned out to be the real passion of my life.

The uniqueness of cave ice study lies in characteristic and simulation of continental climate and predictability of its changes. In this study carried out GPR studies in a remote cavе Eranka. The aim of the study was to examine the power and homogeneity of perennial ice formations. According to the results of the first defined power multiyear ice. Monitoring of modern mineral formation process (including study of cryogenic minerals)

The review of the publications concerning dating and studying of stable isotopes in speleothems, methodology of selection and preparation of the samples, the used techniques, history of increase of accuracy of measurements is presented. Possibilitiesof the analysis of O and C isotopes and receptions of the climatic information are analyzed. Increasing of measurements accuracy (practically, to annual) does archives of paleoclimatic information which have been written down in stalagmites of caves irreplaceable not only for specification of chronology of paleo events but also they can be used as tests in global climatic models.

Provides a description of the skeleton remains of the representatives of insectivorous (hedgehogs, moles, shrews) of intact deposits Makhnevskaya icecave. There are three type of preservation of the material. I and II are characteristic of the bottom sediments and covered ferromanganese formations. Bones of all types of security found in the upper sediment.

Sheremetievskiy Copper mine is located in Nizhnekamsk region in Republic of Tatarstan, Russia. It's of great interest as the mining history relics. The mine is 76 meters long. It was exploited in the 18–19th centuries. There are other traces of mining – inaccessible shafts and galleries near this copper mine.

The cave Divnogorskaya-3 is situated in Liski district, Voronezh region. The investigated fragment of the cave is 13 meters long. It is quite possible that in the middle of the 19th century the peasants Kurbatov and Shatov began to dig the cave from just that plot.

In the area of multy-layer site of Tash-Air-1 shelter known for its eneolithic drawings, there were discovered some ochre stainings that might happen to be traces of ancient paintings, as well.

The investigations of the invertebrate fauna of the Perm region caves revealed the presence of 99 species and forms. The ecological classification, horology, and seasonal dynamics of cave invertebrates are discussed.

The air and water temperatures are most important indicators of changes in the cave environment. The use of loggers in caves significantly broadens the possibilities for studying the underground space and obtaining further information on interactions between the components of the underground environment.

The study of natural radioactivity of host limestone, sulphide and oxide ores was conducted in the ancient Kan-i-Gut cave mine and surrounding area in Kirgizia in 1949-1950. Around 10 % of available cave passages and adits were studied. Radioactivity varies in wide range. Attempts to find the reason for elevated level of host rocks radioactivity and cave air ionization have failed. The hypothesis was proposed on correlation between increased radioactivity in the cave mine and accumulation of supergene Uranium minerals.

13 июля 2013 г. в Липтовском Микулаше на 94 году жизни умер старейший словацкий спелеолог Антон Дроппа.

В 2013 г. исполняется 100 лет со дня рождения Николая Андреевича Гвоздецкого − крупнейшего географа, карстоведа, заслуженного деятеля науки Российской Федерации, оставившего глубокий след в географии и карстоведении XX в.

Книга посвящена одному из наименее изученных направлений спелеологии – особенностям формирования и эволюции минералов в зоне оледенения пещер.

.

Книга приглашает в путешествие по малоизученной, а порой и неведомой для многих подземной части Москвы и Московской области.

Тема настоящего исследования находится на стыке целого ряда научных дисциплин: общей геологии, минералогии, петрографии, геохимии, карстоведения, вулканологии, физической химии.

Выходящий с 1974 г. журнал «Spelerpes» предоставляет возможность публиковать результаты исследований выполненных нидерландскоязычными и в первую очередь фламандскими спелеологами. Издание выходит два раза в год на нидерландском языке, хорошо иллюстрировано, содержит большое количество фотографий, средний объем около 50 страниц.

Во второй половине июля 2013 г. в Чешской республике состоялся 16-й Международный спелеологический конгресс, участие в котором приняли более 1200 человек из 61 страны мира. Чехия уже во второй раз стала ареной для проведения столь крупного и значимого мероприятия – в 1973 г. тогда еще чехословацкий город Оломоуц принимал у себя 6-й Международный конгресс.
