International Union of Speleology
This is UISIC's contact list for people, organisations and datasets related to cave and karst informatics and documentation from around the world.
It has now become out-of-date in parts, and we are looking for a volunteer to take over as Editor and bring it up to date.
If an organisation is not shown for a country, try the UIS organisations pages:
If you know of somebody not listed below who is active in karst informatics, please invite them to send their details to the editor. Similarly if you know of any corrections, additions or missing email addresses, please advise the editor (click on editor's name above).
To find a country, person or organisation on this page, please use your browser's search facility <Ctrl-F>.
If from your own site you want to provide a direct web link to a particular country on this page,
add the country's country code (or INT for International) in upper case and preceded by a # to the
end of this page's address, e.g. for a link to the Argentina block, use:
http://uisic.uis-speleo.org/contacts.html#AR
Sadly, much of this important page has got quite out of date due to lack of resources, and so we are looking for someone to take it under their wing, contact each country, bring the data up to date, and then keep it up to date. We can provide a list of country emails to make contact, and can produce the actual updated web page if needed. Step 1 would be simply to bring this list up to date and keep it that way, with a possible later step of introducing a database for the information which could then generate a new web page periodically. We can offer this as a permanent volunteer role in the Commission, where you would be free to develop the facility according to your further ideas. For example, to allow authorised people from countries to update their own information themselves. If this role, even just the simple update in Step 1, sounds interesting to you, please contact the Editor above. It would be much appreciated, and would contribute significantly to the work and cave documentation facilities made available by the Informatics Commission.

The description codes against individual entries are:
ON = Organisation - national. Representing speleologists nationally.
OO = Organisation - other. Local, national or international.
PD = Person - delegate. Official UISIC delegate for that country.
Usually also 'responsible'.
PR = Person - responsible. Has some responsibility for documentation
in that country.
PI = Person - interested.
DN = Dataset - national. Shows name/scope, person, size, type.
DO = Dataset - other.
The 2-letter code following each country name is the international standard
country code from ISO 3166.
