Detecting Gasses Underground: a Practical Guide for Safety and Scientific Study (3-6)
Mike Bedford considers the types of gasses that might be detected in caves, mines, and other underground spaces, and investigates methods of detection.

Carbon Dioxide Data Logging in Caves – Part 2 (7-10)
In the second of this short series, Ian Cooper and Bob Mehew provide full details of their CO2 data logging device, including an electronic circuit diagram and photographs of the physical implementation.

An Android App using Phone Angle Sensors for Radiolocation Depth Determination (12)
Jim Rattray introduces the Android phone app that he created, using App Inventor 2, which measures the null angle of a radiolocation loop antenna and thereby calculates the depth from the measured distance to ground zero.

An Android Scientific Calculator for Depth Calculation in Radiolocation (13-14)
Juan L. Ronda describes his use of an advanced off-the-shelf scientific calculator app for determining the depth in radiolocation exercises. He also discusses the use of an electronic inclinometer to measure the angle of null.

BCRA Field Meeting at the British Cave Monitoring Centre (18-19)
Based at Poole’s Cavern in Derbyshire, the British Cave Monitoring Centre is now up and running. BCRA arranged a field meeting to introduce this valuable facility for cave science research. John Gunn, Andi Smith, Andy Hall and John Wilcock outline the day’s events.

The Role of GIS in Finding New Caves (20-22)
Following his description of how multiple geophysical methods are being used to find new caves, Atanas Rusev discusses the use of geographical information systems in cave exploration.

An Improved Smoke Generator for the Visualization of Airflow in Caves (23-24)
Recent methods for visualizing airflow in caves have generally involved aerosol-based ‘haze’ and ‘smoke’ products used in photography and theatrical effects, or simply burning incense sticks. The former cannot be carried on aircraft, and the latter produce too little smoke for visualizing large volumes of airflow. Guy Van Rentergem describes a cave-ruggedized smoke generator, based on e-cigarette technology.
