With a focus on extreme events in karst environments, the SISKA's annual report provides information on our Institute's activities and suggests ways in which we can better understand the links between karst and anthropogenic climate change. We hope you enjoy reading it.

The SISKA congratulates Amir Sedaghatkish, a doctoral student at the SISKA, on the publication of his latest article in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface! The article, entitled "Modeling Heat Transfer for Assessing the Convection Length in Ventilated Caves", provides an overview of the fundamental research on underground climate carried out by the SISKA as part of the Thermokarst project.

As part of the Thermokarst project, Claudio Pastore, a doctoral student at the SISKA, is studying the use of C02 as a tracer in ventilated caves. His latest results have just been published in the International Journal of Speleology under the title "Dispersion of artificial tracers in ventilated caves". Congratulations on this milestone!
