April 13, 2024 Updated June 10, 2024 3 minute read

Speleology, also known as caving, is the scientific exploration of caves, a pursuit that may involve crawling, climbing, diving, and/or boating through these often-confined spaces. While some spelunking enthusiasts are employed as tour guides or photographers, the vast majority of those in this field are engaged in research and conservation efforts. Those who pursue speleology as a career may have degrees in earth sciences, environmental sciences, or biology, and may even come from backgrounds in engineering, archaeology, or ecology.
