scientific project on cave morphology and tectonic movements

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 !

Grottocenter datas on VMap

Laurent Blum has set up an application to manage caves After some exchanges with the Wikicaves association, he set up a solution to visualize the data from Grottocenter. We wanted the data to remain freely accessible, for this he created a generic user that you can use URL: https://vmapspeleo.fr/vmap/ Identifier: grottocenter Password: grottocenter

Protection of sensitive caves on Grottocenter

The UIS has just sent a letter to all the federations and to the delegates of each country to invite them to contact the Wikicaves association to set up a partnership so that we define together the data available to the federations which can be directly integrated into Grottocenter and those for which special protective measures must be taken

Grottocenter faster

Vincent, who joined the development team a few weeks ago, has just modified the code of the two applications (Back-end which provides the data and Front-end which is the one you use) in order to optimize the data which are exchanged. The result is faster page display because less information is downloaded. I invite you to take the opportunity to contribute .
