Atlas of Cave Morphs. Image properties
 |
Atlas of Cave Morphs is an informal collaborative project of the UIS Commission on Karst Hydrogeology and Speleogenesis run through Speleogenesis Network. The goal is to create the structured collection (repository) of annotated images of type and unique cave morphologies, a representative resource for knowledge discovery in the field of speleogenesis. The Atlas provides not only a reference source and an image gallery, but a collaborative workspace for the image collection, analysis, interpretation and categorization. Image name: Oxbow structures on clay bottom by Dirk Hermans newly explored passage (feb 2010) oxbow like structures (10cm width, 15 cm long, 1cm height) on clay floor 15 structures in few square meters, same orientation (only in one, small area in passage, missing in rest of passage, why only there and not a few meter further away?) |
