scientific project on cave morphology and tectonic movements

By


 



Dr. Alex Dudashvili  and the Fund of Preservation and Exploration of Caves are leading a scientific project with the Kyrgyz-Russia Slavic University The aim of the project is  to estimate of paleoearthquake frequency in the Kyrgyzstan area  and get more data  on the frequency or recurrence of the ancient earthquakes which shook  Central Asia. Scientists try   to understand  the  correlation of cave morphology with tectonic movements and  to improve   interpretation and reconstruction of paleo-seismic events .
 Sponsors, partners and scientists interested in the project are  most welcome !
