My understanding with dating speleothems is that they are matching
curves of U-Th isotopic ratios (my guess would be that they are using
ICP-MS analysis for everything these days). It's been a few years,
but my experience seeing one of my grad school friends trying to match

There are still two groups rigging the cave that is almost done. They are going
to rest now until 1300, when Arthur stretcher will start to move. / He is
helping by himself in some complicated areas (meanders). /Outside, there´s

As one who believes in conservation, I guess the only way to keep caves
truly pristine is for no one to enter them. However, I don't believe in
this approach. If no one entered them they would be of no use to

Stefan,
This won't be necessary. We just need to have the legislature pass a law

FYI without copying the lengthy posts, word is spreading on TagNet about a
deadly (and chillingly descriptively named) fungal infection affecting bat
populations in the Northeast. It appears not to have broken out in the
