NACD
Science Committee Mission Statement
Prepared by
Skip Kendrick, Science Committee Chair
July, 2007
The objective of the NACD Science Committee is to
promote various scientific endeavors in support of education, conservation,
exploration, and safe cave diving. The scientific endeavors are
divided into three primary categories: Cave Science, Human Science,
and Equipment Science.
In many cases the Science Committee addresses issues
that may overlap with the mission of other NACD committees. It is
intended that the Science Committee focus primarily on basic research that
will provide needed information to the other committees. For example,
water quality is both a Science issue and a Conservation issue. The
Science Committee may support water quality assessments, collect and
organize the data, publish the information in appropriate journals, and
report to the Conservation Committee those findings deemed "in need of
action." The Conservation Committee would then decide on the
appropriate action needed.
