Dear Indonesian readers,
Speleology is the study about caves,
NOT the study about unimportant/trivial things,
although "spele" ini Bahasa Indonesia indeed means unimportant/trivial.
Thus, it is safe to assume uselessology as the study about unimportant/trivial things :D
Pls find below excerpt from Wikipedia for your reading pleasure

Speleology (also spelled spelæology or spelaeology) is the scientific study of caves and other karst features, their make-up, structure, physical properties, history, life forms, and the processes by which they form (speleogenesis) and change over time (speleomorphology). The term speleology is also sometimes applied to the recreational activity of exploring caves, but this is more properly known as caving, spelunking or potholing. Speleology and caving are often connected, as the physical skills required for in situ study are the same.
Speleology is a cross-disciplinary field that combines the knowledge of chemistry, biology, geology, physics, meteorology and cartography to develop portraits of caves as complex, evolving systems
