Speleologist Course
This course equips participants with essential skills for speleology, focusing on karst systems in Australian limestone environments. Through hands-on training in cave surveying, hydrogeology, laboratory analysis, and risk assessment, learners will gain the expertise to explore, map, and protect sensitive cave and aquifer ecosystems sustainably.

What will I learn?
The Speleologist Course provides practical skills to understand and manage karst systems, from Australian limestone provinces and cave morphology to hydrogeology and tracer tests. Learn field surveying, mapping, sampling design, lab analyses, and data interpretation, then apply hazard assessment, land-use planning, and protection measures to support safe, sustainable use of sensitive cave and aquifer environments.
