Environmental dynamics speleological (EDS) refers to a new field of knowledge built from the theoretical and methodological interaction for understanding a complex object (cave). The knowledge needed to support the construction of environmental dynamics speleological permeates various sciences to Landscape Ecology, ecodynamic, Geomorphology carstic, Human Ecology, Geology, Paleontology, Archaeology, Psychology and Epistemology, which characterized this work as interdisciplinary. The general objective set out to build parameters (indexes, study methodologies and speleological analysis of operational base) which validate the existence, relevance and contributions of caving studies based on the idiosyncrasies of each place as complex unit in operation and composition structure. Environmental dynamics speleological work on the relationship between its three constituent elements (memory, conservation and education) was the purpose of this thesis. The speleological environmental dynamics, speleological memory, speleological conservation and speleological education were respected, characterized, had their principles and identified and evaluated methods. The research was fundamental and applied nature with construction of empirical and epistemological product analysis and synthesis for research in Speleology: (1) extemporoendografias; (2) the environmental dynamic index speleological; (3) the check list to identify risk factors present in the cave, which may affect visitors, academics and workers; (4) the check list of speleological conservation actions; (5) the concepts of Speleological environmental dynamics and speleological memory; (6) the "Veredas da Terra” Exhibition; (7) the learning environment "artificial cave"; and (8) Learning features the "3D cave model," "pendrive-morcego" and "update course - No Centro, a Terra: Espeleologia, ensino e interdisciplinaridade”". There were two Sergipe caverns evaluated to test the methodological tools (1-3): Toca da Raposa in Simão Dias and Pedra Branca in Maruim. Application was built escalas tempográficas to present extemporoendografias (photos, audios, videos, maps) of the two caves studied, which can be viewed on smartphones, tablets and computers. Based on the evaluation of the Environmental Dynamic Index Speleological (EDIS), the Pedra Branca cave (Maruim/SE) and Toca da Raposa (Simão Dias/SE) were classified as intermediate metastability, with the first being in positive trend change and the second in negative trend. Note that most of the contaminants found in caves studied which can affect humans are of a biological nature (fungi, bacteria, viruses, venomous animals, which can cause disease and poisoning), while the contaminants that can affect the caverns are primarily of chemical origin (pesticides, heavy metals...). While environmental imbalances were more physical (with offset blocks, broken speleothems and presence of engineering works). As the wells studied do not have bodies of standing water, contamination and imbalances are observed more on the spot, without spread to the surrounding area by ground water or atmospheric air. All environments and learning resources are being applied to assist in environmental dynamics speleological and his memory. Thus, it takes further studies regarding the application of constructed objects to assist the development of educational practices factors on caving environments.
