The Alpine Karst Foundation is dedicated to the exploration of scientific research in, and education about, alpine karst areas.
Central to these goals are:
1) Expedition caving and study in wilderness and other remote regions.
2) The interdependency of exploration and science.
The Alpine Karst Foundation thus provides a major resource for the evaluation of environmental impacts to alpine karst from recreation and industry activity.
