International Union of Speleology (UIS)

"Union Internationale de Spéléologie" (UIS) ndi bungwe lalikulu padziko lonse lapansi lomwe limalimbikitsa ndi kupititsa patsogolo maphunziro asayansi ndi kufufuza kwa mapanga ndi mawonekedwe a karst. UIS idakhazikitsidwa mu 1965 kuti ikhazikitse mgwirizano pakati pa ofufuza a mphanga ndi karst mbali zonse za Iron Curtain, ndipo yapanga bungwe lasayansi lamphamvu lomwe lili ndi mayiko pafupifupi 60 ndi mabungwe ambiri ogwirizana padziko lonse lapansi. UIS idalembetsedwa ku Slovenia kuyambira 2002 ndipo ili ndi likulu lake lokhazikika ku Karst Research Institute ZRC SAZU ku Postojna, Slovenia. Amagwirizanitsa ofufuza ndi ofufuza m'mapanga, mwachitsanzo, akatswiri a speleologists, ochokera m'madera osiyanasiyana a sayansi pa maphunziro apakati ndi osiyanasiyana.

Madera a Karst amaphimba pafupifupi 20% ya nthaka youma padziko lapansi ndipo amathandizira mpaka 25% ya madzi akumwa padziko lapansi. Mapanga amapezeka m'matanthwe a karst (makamaka miyala yamiyala, evaporites) ndi ma basalts, komanso mumadzi oundana, m'malo onse anyengo, mwachitsanzo, m'maiko ambiri padziko lapansi. Kufufuza kwawo, zolemba, ndi chitetezo ndizofunika padziko lonse lapansi.

Kuchokera ku 1953, dziko lina losankhidwa lakhala likukonzekera International Congresses of Speleology (ICS) zaka zinayi zilizonse ndikusindikiza zochitika zambiri za zochitikazi. Zochitika izi zimabweretsa pamodzi akatswiri a speleologists ochokera padziko lonse lapansi kuti asinthane zidziwitso ndikukhazikitsa olumikizana nawo. UIS imasunganso makomiti asayansi pafupifupi 20 (mwachitsanzo, a geomorphology, cartography, biology, kapena informatics) ndipo amachita ntchito zanthawi yayitali, monga bibliography, standardization, ndi digito. Mabungwe ambiri a UIS nthawi zonse amakonza misonkhano yapadziko lonse kapena zokambirana pamitu inayake. UIS imathandiziranso misonkhano yasayansi yapadziko lonse lapansi komanso yadziko lonse komanso misonkhano ina, monga International Karst School "Classical Karst".

Kuphatikiza pa kafukufuku, kuteteza ndi kusungirako mapanga ndi malo a karst ndizofunikira kwambiri ku UIS. Kuti izi zitheke, UIS ikugwirizana ndi UNESCO, International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), International Show Caves Association (ISCA), International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH) Karst Commission, International Geographic Union (IGU) Karst Commission, Bat Conservation International, ndi ena. Kuphatikiza apo, UIS imagwira ntchito ndi Komiti Yoyimilira ya Gender Equality mu Sayansi (SCGES). UIS imalumikizidwanso ndi mabungwe apadziko lonse lapansi (mwachitsanzo, masukulu asayansi, mayunivesite, mabungwe ofufuza) ndi mabungwe ena apadziko lonse lapansi a sayansi ya geoscience omwe amagwira ntchito pamitu yofananira. UIS imasunga ubale wapamtima ndi mabungwe ena apadziko lonse lapansi komanso am'madera omwe amayang'anira madera ena, monga European Speleological Federation, Asian Union of Speleology, ndi Balkan Speleological Union.

UIS imasindikiza International Journal of Speleology (Earth-Surface Processes, Q2; Geology, Q2), UIS Bulletin yapawiri, ndi Speleological Abstracts. Kawiri pachaka, imapereka ndalama zochepa pazochita zasayansi ndimisonkhano yotengera kuyitanidwa kwapadziko lonse lapansi kapena kuthandizira ma projekiti omwe afunsidwa ndi imodzi mwamabungwe ake asayansi. Zaka zinayi zilizonse, mphotho zimaperekedwa ku ICS chifukwa chakuchita bwino kwambiri pakufufuza, zofalitsa, ndi zikwangwani.

Mu 2021/2022, UIS idakonza Chaka Chapadziko Lonse cha Mapanga ndi Karst. Pansi pa mawu akuti "Fufuzani - Kumvetsetsa - Tetezani", mamembala ndi mabungwe othandizana nawo padziko lonse lapansi adadziwitsa anthu zochitika zoposa 1,200 za kufunika kwa dziko lonse la karst ndi mapanga: monga malo okhala zachilengedwe, monga madzi akumwa, monga malo chiyambi cha chikhalidwe cha anthu, komanso monga malo ofukula zakale-paleontological.
