Yesterday our membership has reached 700. It has doubled during last three years, which indicates that the Speleogenesis site and the UIS KHS Commission (now in a close cooperation with the IAH Karst Commission) successfully perform their roles in fostering the development of karstology and geospeleology, and international cooperation and information exchange in these fields.
We have developed a lot of important services in the Speleogenesis site, and many tools that allow members to directly participate in information exchange and resource development. I would like to use this occasion to encourage members to actively use these tools. For your convenience, access to most of them is assembled in your Member Area, which you can enter whenever you have logged in. Below is the list of some of the tools which you might want to use for sharing information with the Speleogenesis Community.
Best wishes!
Sincerely,
--Alexander Klimchouk
