<h2>Acceptance Letter from the Royal Geographical Society</h2>
|
||||
<p>Dear Aaron, </p>
|
||||
<p><strong>GFG 48/07 </strong></p>
|
||||
<p><strong></strong></p>
|
||||
<p>On behalf of the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) it gives me great pleasure to confirm our approval of your expedition's plans and our decision to support it with a grant of <strong>£2000. </strong>The source of your grant is the Marjorie Sweeting Bequest. </p>
|
||||
<p>The size of this grant is given to recognize and applaud the team for incorporating a research element into your caving expedition. The RGS-IBG would prefer that this money is spent on logistics. However if the grant is spent on equipment the RGS-IBG requests that once the expedition is over that the equipment purchased is maintained for the long term use of the club. </p>
|
||||
<p><strong></strong></p>
|
||||
<p>This approval and funding is based on the expectation that you will gain the appropriate ethical approval by your university. </p>
|
||||
<p>I would be grateful if you could sign and return the attached sheet of terms and conditions, including your full bank details, and we will arrange for the funds to be credited to that account as soon as possible. The RGS-IBG prefers the bank account specified to be to be of your institution and not of an individual. </p>
|
||||
<p><br>
|
||||
Your expedition and contact details will appear in the society's press release later in the year. If you have any objection to this, please inform me at your earliest convenience. </p>
|
||||
<p>If it proves necessary to change the objectives or destination of the fieldwork, the membership, or the budget, please let me know at once, as the Society's approval is given on the basis of the plans you have already submitted. Any reasonable changes are unlikely to affect our support, but we do reserve the right to withdraw our approval and support if there are substantial changes. </p>
|
||||
<p>A preliminary report is due a month after you return from the field. A full report is due by September 2008. Full details of both are provided in the terms and conditions document that is attached. </p>
|
||||
<p>We look forward to hearing from you and wish you all the very best of luck with your planning and expedition. </p>
|
||||
<p>Yours sincerely, </p>

5. Continuing exploration and survey of Schwarzmooskogel ridge caves, chiefly the <20>Subsoil<69> level and "Razordance" in Steinbr<62>ckenh<6E>hle, as well extending the promising discovery of Tunnockschact. We will study stress levels (cortisol) in cavers and the role of condensation in cave microclimates and speleogenesis.
|
||||
|
||||
6.This year, an interdisciplinary research project will be combined with CUCC's usual high standards of surveying, prospecting, and photography. A network of sensors and dataloggers for temperature, humidity, and airflow will be deployed and then used a) to investigate microclimate and map / quantify expected and observed condensation rates and b) to provide a control backdrop for the caver stress study.
|
||||
|
||||
Exploration in Steinbr<62>ckenh<6E>hle will include a concerted push on the "Razordance" streamway (currently at -542m) in hopes that it will break through the current level, potentially leading to deep (potentially below -1000m) system or sump. Major pushes will also be carried out in the "Gaffered to the walls" series. Last year's promising discovery of Tunnockschacht will be further explored. Surface prospecting will be continued.
|
||||
|
||||
8. CUCC has been exploring in the area since 1976: an expedition has been
|
||||
held every year since then except in 1986. The ARGE Grabenstetten group
|
||||
from Germany, with whom we have a good relationship, also work in the
|
||||
same general area and have held many expeditions there.

Members will be charged on a pro-rata basis for items such as food and campsite fees. Each member will therefore receive a differing expedition bill according to their individual situation; there is no fixed contribution to the expedition. The costs of fieldwork equipment purchased for the research projects and lab costs will be funded by grants and sponsorship with any remaining shortfall contributed by Aaron Curtis and Djuke Veldhuis.

I am a 1st Year Student studying Engineering, and have been caving for a several months. I am keen to gain more experience in more exotic caves, but also through exploring/surveying begin to give something back to the caving community. I also feel this expedition would give me deeper insight into the organisation of major expeditions, such that in later years I can sustain our annual expedition for future cavers. As CUCC does not lend gear for Expo, any financial help I can get for the purchase of an SRT kit, undersuit, oversuit, etc would be gratefully received.

I'm an italian PhD student who started caving in october 2005. I had to suspend caving in Dec 2005 due to a non-caving related broken leg and a scholarship in USA. Now I'm back in U.K. and the first thing I did was go underground. In caving I appreciate the 'group' spirit and the total sense of dependence and trust that develops among party memebers. On a more individualistic side I love the thrilling feeling of challenge and adventure, I love the cold water that makes my feet numb, the mud on my Mars bar, the impressive rock that I have to climb and conquer. I will go on CUCC Expo in Austria and make myself useful as much as possible, although I will need to purchase gear which is difficult to afford on my own and therefore any assistance is greatly appreciated.

The 2007 Austria expedition incorporates many new elements. This year we have applied to the Cambridge Expeditions Committee to become officially endorsed by the University, and fully expect to gain that status. We also have applied for and expect to gain Royal Geographical Society approval and funding to assist with the purchase of fieldwork equipment.
|
||||
|
||||
The research aims of the expedition will provide the data for Aaron Curtis' undergraduate dissertation as well as an upcoming paper to be published by Djuke Veldhuis.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the main research aims, we intend to test a prototype of a new cave exploration aid: a remotely operated blimp for underground use. A camera, and light mounted on the blimp will allow scouting of avens and pitches to determine whether they are worth ascending or descending. This is being developed with advice from Rob Franklin, balloonist, caver, and cameraman whose work includes the BBC Titan video and Planet Earth: Caves.
|
||||
|
||||
While we will make every attempt possible to be economical in these projects, your financial assistance is invaluable to their success and that of the expedition overall.
