<h2 align=center>Expo 2007 (Cambridge Austrian Cave Science Expedition): mission statement</h2>
<h2 align=center>Expo 2007 (Cambridge Austrian Cave Science Expedition)</h2>
<p>Expo 2007 (Cambridge Austrian Cave Science Expedition) seeks to build on decades of expeditions by incorporating scientific research aims while maintaining a high standard of original exploration and survey. Below is a provisional outline of our major exploration and research goals. For additional descriptions, please see the <a href="grants.shtml">grant and institution application page</a>. The <a href="gearreq.shtml">gear requirements</a> page addresses rope lengths required and other gear that needs to be budgeted. </p>
<p>Note that numbers given by cave names are those of the <a href="../../indxal.htm">Austrian Kataster for our area</a>.</p>

<li>Since novel ecology, temperature gradients and sustained exercise encountered underground also influence stress physiology (see e.g. Ronsen, et al., 2001; Rhind et al., 2004) the dataloggers provide a control background to the inter-individual variation (behavioural or physiological) of the stress response. We will explore a) caver variability in stress-hormone levels; b) what underground stressors (e.g. high humidity, darkness) are dominant and c) stress-coping mechanisms (e.g. flight or fight response). Understanding responses to the stresses of the subterranean environment is limited (e.g. Stenner et-al. 2006) and this project aims to increase awareness. </li>

<li>We aim to produce a dataset of cave atmospheric data using datalogged climatic sensors placed throughout caves. An investigation of cave microclimates and specifically their interaction with condensation will employ the data to predict and quantify the geographical distribution of condensation. Implications for phenomena such as cave thermal inertia, cave breathing, speleogenesis, karst water balance, and ultimately the response of caves to climate change will be considered. Various techniques for condensation prediction and theories of microclimates will be evaluated. Climactic overlays for surveys will be produced. </li>
