February 29 - March 3, 2004 Capus, Romania
on line the Aims of the workshop:
IWIC-I was the first workshop entirely devoted to ice caves research. IWIC offer a place to point out the state of art, to discuss ongoing research efforts, to boost international cooperation. IWIC-I was an ideal opportunity to widen the availability among the interested audience of important research results formerly published only in non-English papers.The contributions was related to any aspect of ice cave research, and particularly:
- Ice caves climatology and the relations between hypogean
and epigean environments
- Morphology and mass balances of cave ice deposits
- Stratigraphy and internal structure of hypogean ice deposits
- Ice sampling methods
- Cave ice crystal fabric
- Chemical and isotopical studies on cave ice and its fluid inclusions
- Applications of radiometric methods
- Palinology, dendrochronology and other biology-related studies applied to ice caves research
