5th Middle-East Speleology Symposium

The 5th Middle East Speleology Symposium will soon reunite us again. This time we will meet in the great country of Sultanate of Oman in the prestigious Sultan Qabous University (SQU). Those cavers and scientists with a passion to caves and karst and interest or curiosity of the Middle East will find their peers at the MESS5 on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th of October 2024. We look forward to meet old friends and getting to know new friends during this reunion. The MESS5 Scientific Programme will follow on the previously defined themes and topics, keeping coherence with the Middle East Speleology Symposia. It will cover the three major thematic domains (Technical Speleology, Scientific Speleology, and Karst Management & Protection). We expect also major contributions in a Spelemedia-dedicated thematic domain.

On behalf of the MESS5 Organizing Committee, I would like to thank the University of Sultan Qabous and the Ministry of Heritage & Tourism for their trust. We are also grateful to the members of the Scientific Committee for all their efforts with regard to the quality and pertinence of the selected contributions. Last but not least, I would like to thank all those who will make it to Oman and with whom we shall have indeed a great reunion.
