International Union of Speleology

Informatics Commission

President: Vacant.   (Apply here)
Vice-President: Mike Lake, Australia.
Past President 1986-2022: Peter Matthews, Australia.

The aim of the UIS Informatics Commission (UISIC) is to encourage and facilitate the systematic collection and responsible use of cave, karst and related data on an international basis. Formed in 1986 at the 9th International Congress of Speleology, UISIC is a Commission of the Union Internationale de Spéléologie / International Union of Speleology (UIS).

The work of the Commission is carried out either in Sub-commissions or in Projects: Sub-commissions for where there is an ongoing role, and Projects for finite tasks which will eventually be completed. Both can be nested to any depth, and replace UISIC's earlier Working Groups to better fit with the UIS structure changes of 2017.
