Scientific Speleological Days, 27th edition – Journées de Spéléologie Scientifique, 27ème édition
Each year since 1997 enthusiastic cavers meet for the scientific aspects of speleology in Han-sur-Lesse for a weekend of meetings, presentations and discussions.
The scientific meeting is mainly dedicated to Belgian karst and neighboring regions, as well as to the Belgian achievements abroad. The meeting is accessible for all and is intended to be an opportunity for cavers, scientists or merely curious to inquire or submit new observations or discoveries.
On Saturday there are many interesting conferences, such as from the guest speaker Laurent Bruxelles, Karstologist and geoarchaeologist, National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research, France, who will talk to us about rock phantoms in South Africa in relation to paleoanthropology and on Sunday there is a fieldtrip to the karst system of the Hotton cave. This guided tour will allow you to discover the sinks which feed the underground river which flows in the cave, the local geology and the Hotton cave.
Please hold these dates and practical information in french can be found on: https://sites.google.com/view/jss2/accueil
