| SUMMARY: |
As you know, ice caves represent a small but fascinating research field for
speleologists and glaciologists in many countries. As you also know, the
interested scientific community is quite small and scattered. IWIC-I is the
first workshop entirely devoted to ice caves research. We wish to offer a
place to point out the state of the art, to discuss ongoing research projects,
and to boost future international co-operations.
Just to avoid confusion, IWIC-I will focus on \"ice caves\" in the meaning of
rock-hosted caves containing perennial ice and snow deposits.
Furthermore, IWIC-I is an ideal opportunity to widen the availability among
the interested audience of important research results formerly published
only in non-English papers.
The day following to the contributions presentation session there will be a field excursion to the Gheţarul de la Scărişoara, one of the most documented ice caves in the world.[...]
