Enviroscan

Enviroscan, Inc. The purpose and benefits of geophysics are illustrated nowhere better than in karst terranes where abrupt lateral changes in hydrogeological properties are easily overlooked by conventional drilling. Our headquarters sit on a karst formation, and our experience includes extensive application of resistivity, electromagnetic, seismic, and gravity methods, as well as borehole geophysical logging and imaging to characterize karst aquifers.

Ukrainian Institute of Speleology and Karstology

Ukrainian Institute of Speleology and Karstology (UISK) is a governmental non-profit scientific organization, created by a joint decree of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and the National Academy of Science of Ukraine in 2006. It is set as a research unit of, and is administratively supervised by the V.I.Vernadsky Tavrichesky National University in Simferopol. Its principal mission is to develop, promote and coordinate scientific studies in the field of speleology and karstology, and interdisciplinary researches of caves and karst.
