: The artificial lighting of caves adapted for touristic visits, leads to the appearance and propagation of a complex community of phototrophic organisms known as “lampenflora”. Formed mainly by algae and cyanobacteria, they produce the degradation of the colonized substrates and decrease the show value of the caves. This phenomenon became famous worldwide in the 1960s due to the damage caused to the paintings in the Lascaux Cave (France). Since then it has become an issue of serious concern to both managers of show caves and to the international scientific community. Over time, the problem has been approached following two complementary strategies: preventing colonization by the invading organisms or eliminating them once they have become established through the use of chemical products, mainly biocides and strong oxidants. This kind of treatment generates pollutant effluents that can move the problem from the walls of the caves to the groundwater. This paper presents a critical literature review of the problem and the proposed solutions, and emphasizes the need for further study of the optimal doses of treatment chemicals and to develop quantitative methods to determine their effectiveness.

Dr. James Michael Queen of Carlsbad, New Mexico, passed away on August 20, 2019, from pancreatic cancer, at his family’s home in Oak Hill, New York. He devoted most of his life to the innermost processes of speleogenesis. His other interests ranged widely, starting from a foundation in geology and paleontology and branching in many directions through the fine arts and humanities. On the day of his death, he dictated these last few words to his family: Dear Friends, if you are reading this it means that the time on my ticket has expired and I have shuffled on. I don’t know about the when or how of the return trip. As a bat perhaps, or a cephalopod? Or a new biothem [a speleothem built around organic filaments]? Watch for me soon! A close friend, Ron Kerbo (retired Cave Specialist at Carlsbad Caverns National Park), wrote a eulogy that concluded with: He showed us that to be rich is to never stop wondering.... Ron and I collaborated on a remembrance of Michael for the November 2019 NSS News (National Speleological Society, USA). Here I focus on some of his more important work in the field. Born in California in 1948, Michael grew up in New York State and obtained B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, with concentrations in biology and geology. Employment never ranked high among his priorities. He held many part-time jobs throughout the USA, mainly in college teaching and petroleum geology, which gave him the flexibility to pursue geology at his own pace. In 1971 he interrupted his university studies to work for Shell Oil Company, near the cavernous Guadalupe Mountains of New Mexico. On his first caving trips there, he noticed that much of the limestone in the cave walls had been replaced by gypsum, which preserved the textures of the original limestone. This idea launched him on a 40-year study of Guadalupe caves, particularly Carlsbad Cavern. His first interpretation of the interaction between limestone and gypsum was presented at the 1973 NSS Convention and won an award for best scientific paper by a young student. At roughly the same time, the concept of speleogenesis by sulfuric acid was proposed by Stephen Egemeier, also a graduate of State University of New York (New Paltz), from observations in the still-active Kane Caves of Wyoming for his PhD studies at Stanford University. His work was published in 1981 and helped to steer Guadalupe researchers in the same direction. Michael and one or two fellow researchers (e.g., Donald Davis of Colorado) also considered sulfuric acid to be a factor in late-stage modification of the Guadalupe caves; but further observations convinced him that, in fact, most of the cave enlargement was the work of sulfuric acid. Michael wrote few technical papers, but they described speleogenetic processes with unusual clarity. His interpretations tend t
