Project Namak: some of the most spectacular findings in the Iranian salt karst
Filippi, Michal ; Bruthans, J. ; Jager, O. ; Zare, M. ; Asadi, N.
Project (“namak” means salt in Persian language) is an informal association of geologists and speleologists who cooperate on exploration and scientific research of the salt karst in southern and southwestern Iran. During the Project(from 1998 until 2013) about 16 salt diapirs were visited and more than 60 caves were discovered, 30 of which were mapped. The most exciting scientific and speleological discoveries were made in the Namakdan, Hormoz and Jahani salt diapirs; however, many other remarkable discoveries have been made on other several Iranian salt diapirs. This contribution summarizes the most interesting findings achieved during the ten expeditions carried out by the NAMAK team.

Potential of the Czech Republic as a destination for speleotourism
Jarošová, Petra ; Petrů, Zdenka (advisor) ; Valentová, Jana (referee)
The thesis is focused on possibilities of using caves for the purpose of tourism and for spending free time. Particular goal, as the title of the thesis discovers, is to measure the potential of the Czech Republic as a destination for speleotourism. The thesis charts and analyses recent supply of speleologic free time activities for the general public and maps over activity of organizations involved in caves exploring and protecting. The thesis points out obstacles in developing speleotourism and also sketches out possible future progress; based on discussions with members of the Czech Speleological Society and other authorities.
