‘Guano is far more than just droppings’: #scientists uncover the secrets of bat poo in #Gorongosa park

When they see the guano, they see money. But #guano is the thing that guarantees stable environmental conditions in #caves , from the 100% humidity or 50C [122F] temperature that some #bats need to survive

"Rocks and Geology, Winner. Creation of Earth. “The enigmatic patterns of these marble caves struck me as telling a story of creation: growing trees, ancient mountains, swirling galaxies. After taking this photo, I learned that the marble in this scene was saved from mining only because it is considered ‘low quality.’ I wonder, then, how many other remarkable scenes have vanished in service of our countertops?” "

I worked with a great team of collaborators to produce a uniquely long #paleoclimate record from #caves in northern #utah. We dated stalagmites to show that mountain #permafrost repeatedly expanded during glacial periods and disappeared during interglacials in sync with orbital climate cycles over the past ~600,000 years. These results provide rare long-term constraints on alpine permafrost sensitivity and help place modern permafost thaw into a deeper climatic context. The paper was published in Quaternary Research; if you do not have access and wish to get a copy, feel free to send me a private request.

I discovered three new geckos in Cambodia – and that’s not all

The vast majority of karsts are not protected, and the demand for cement is huge. This is not specific to Cambodia – it’s a global problem and the threat is imminent.

Very interesting article about how #species are discovered , classified and documented.

I'm all about analog, but down this grotto my daylight cameras with ISO 200 film were pretty useless. So I used my phone to capture this breathtaking otherworld.

This is "La Merveilleuse", the (highly underrated) grotto of Dinant (Belgium).

Didyma ist bekannt für seine ungewöhnlichen Dolinen, die durch den Einsturz unterirdischer Kalkhöhlen entstanden. In der kleineren der beiden öffnet sich mitten im Dorf ein runder Krater, in dessen Tiefe zwei kleine Kirchen stehen. Der Kontrast zwischen senkrechter Felswand und stillen Kapellen verleiht dem Ort eine eigentümliche Ruhe.

Die Tropfsteinhöhle Kastania auf dem südlichen Peloponnes zeigt eine dichte Landschaft aus farbigen Stalaktiten und Stalagmiten, die sich über Millionen von Jahren Schicht für Schicht aufgebaut haben. Zwischen den bunten Ablagerungen aus Kalk und Mineralien entstehen Formen, die an Vorhänge, Tintenfische, Korallen oder kleine Elefanten erinnern. Mein Guide deutet immer neue Figuren in den Skulpturen an der Decke und am Boden, was die Fantasie zusätzlich anregt. Trotz der Inszenierung bleibt das Bewusstsein, dass all diese Gebilde allein durch Wasser, Kalk und Zeit entstanden sind.

Se desconoce el significado de las inscripciones en escritura cham en las profundidades de la cueva Bi Ky, en la red de cuevas Phong Nha. Dado la historia del lugar y el altar que se encontró, probablemente sean inscripciones budistas del siglo XI, cuando formaba parte del reino de Champa (192-1832), hoy el sur de Vietnam. #vietnam #cueva #cave

La cueva de Andriamamelo muestra complejos símbolos pictóricos de 1000-2000 años que sugieren desde influencias del Egipto ptolemaico (323-30 a.C.), como figuras de Anubis y Horus; megafauna extinta, como el ave elefante y el perezoso gigante; extrañas figuras en M; similitudes con cuevas de Borneo y posibles conexiones con Etiopía y Arabia. 📷David A.

Some caves make you feel like an explorer.
Ruby Falls made me feel like I’d accidentally triggered a side quest in an RPG - complete with the voice of the guy who discovered it echoing through the speakers. All that was missing was a boss fight at the end.
Instead, there was a waterfall. Probably the best kind of plot twist 😀

First post of our vacation in the #schwarzwald . Already on the way to our stay, we made a stop to visit the Laichinger Tiefenhöhle cave!

Discovering Laichingen’s Shaft Cave on our way to the Black Forest


On our trip to Baiersbronn in the Black Forest, we broke up the long drive with a fascinating stop at Tiefenhöhle Laichingen. This unique shaft cave, Germany’s deepest show cave, offered an unforgettable descent beneath the earth through narrow passages and steep stairs before we continued to begin our hiking vacation.

My stickers arrived! These are water resistant high quality stick 'em on anything.

I also still have about 20 of the Cave Life stickers (with super subtle Fuscus Dubia Tartarus acronym). Mix 'n Match as you like. Both are designed by me (#noAI) and are based off of photos I've taken. They are 3" diameter.

paypal.me/sunguramy
I'm asking $2.00 each plus shipping ($1 US, $2 world, as they fit in normal letter envelopes).
