The organization is based out of Wittenberg University[3] in Springfield, Ohio. HistoryWUSS received its official charter (Internal Organization #G-268) from the NSS on 14 May 1980.[4] The organization was created as a successor to the Wittenberg Caving Club, which was formed in 1977 by Dr. Horton H. Hobbs III[5] and Jeff Marion. After its induction into the NSS, WUSS elected Michael Flynn as its first grotto president.
ActivitiesPublicationsWUSS produces an biannual scientific journal called Pholeos (from Greek φολεος - cave) . The first issue was published in 1981,[11] and currently is sent out to more than 500 subscribers throughout all fifty states and 28 countries. Cave ResearchMembers have published more than 150 articles[12] in scientific journals, and continue to make contributions in the areas of speleology, geology, biology, limnology, ecology, and microbiology. Cave SurveyThe organization has a long history of contributing to cave survey and mapping work, beginning in 1978 with Dry Cave, Highland County, Ohio. Since then, members have surveyed more than 32 kilometers (19.86 miles) of passage in more than 200 caves in four states. Vertical WorkAs part of its commitment to promoting safety in caves, WUSS conducts a variety of workshops, clinics, and trainings related to high-angle rope work, as well as providing public resources.[13] Clinics, initially intended for grotto members, have expanded over the years to include workshops at nearby Wright State University and an annual training during the Winter Adventure Weekend[14] at Carter Caves State Resort Park.
