%T A note on a coastal natural bridge in Antigua, West Indies
%9 Paper
%A Stephen K Donovan, David A T Harper , Trevor A Jackson, Roger W Portell
%X The scientific literature contains only rare reports of natural bridges from the Antillean islands. Devil's Bridge in Antigua is a tourist attraction developed in the Upper Oligocene limestones of the Antigua Formation. A main bed spans the bridge, with underlying beds more or less lost due to coastal erosion and collapse; some overlying beds are present. More and more-detailed geomorphological investigations of these limestones are required.

%9 Report
%T Boreham Cave, Littondale, North Yorkshire, UK: some geomorphological observations
%A Phillip J Murphy , David Hodgson, David A Richards, Chris D Standish
%X Observations made by the original explorers of Boreham Cave, a partly-submerged cave system on the northeastern flank of Littondale in the Yorkshire Dales, UK, have been augmented by recent studies of aspects such as overall cave morphology, geological and topographical setting, scallop geometry, sediment lithology, form and provenance, and speleothem ages. Consideration of the expanded dataset has enabled development of an interim cave development model for Boreham Cave itself, and supports speculation regarding its relationship to documented events during the Quaternary and with other cave systems in the wider area.

%T Speleogenesis and scallop formation and demise under hydraulic control and other recharge regimes
%A Trevor FAULKNER
%X It is commonly stated in the literature that, as a phreatic conduit enlarges in limestone under hydraulic (constant head) control, the chemical 'breakthrough' point occurs at an exit size of the order of one centimetre at the transition from slow high-order to fast first-order dissolution kinetics. This is commonly assumed to coincide with the change from a wholly laminar flow to the onset of transitional turbulent flow at the Reynolds Number of 2200 that applies in artificial pipes. These relationships are approximately true for a range of conduit geometries in sub-horizontally bedded strata, including in aquifers with mid-range hydraulic gradients. However, the conduit size for the onset of turbulence varies with the hydraulic gradient, whereas that for the onset of first-order kinetics varies with the hydraulic ratio...

%T Cyanobacteriae and algae of lava tubes in Kamchatka, Russia
%9 Paper
%A Shamil Abdullin
%X Samples collected from lava tubes located within the tundra region of Kamchatka (eastern Russia) were analyzed to provide details of cyanobacteriae and algae biodiversity. A total of 16 species were recorded (3 cyanobacteriae and 13 algae) from the Goncharov and Pogibshaya lava tubes. The diversity recorded from these tundra-region lava tubes is lower than that reported from other lava tubes located in tropical regions.
