Then Sunday morning we, which now included Ernie, pulled about another 8 rocks out, some two at a time. By the time that was done the winch was hot and most everybody else had shown up. Our concentration of energy was to get the floor lowered so we could focus on digging down the side-wall of the cave at a later date to find going passage. One crawl way dig to the north is still fairly low difficult of access. Once the floor level is lower we can start pushing that lead in more earnest. With 5 or 6 people working in the hole 6 barrels were rapidly filled and the winch truck called for. It was lunch time anyway. The winch managed to lift all 6 barrels out before it needed another rest. John Schneider showed up about the time the hauling was completed. All the others took their leave and John and I filled 2-1/2 more barrels and unearthed a few more rocks in the doing it, calling it quits at 3 o'clock. The barrels did not get hoisted, however. We'll try to get that done this week, along with some rocks. The next dig is scheduled for the 23rd December but I probably won't be there. Anybody wanting to go fill the barrels is welcomed to. Be careful to not dig the supports out from under any overhead rocks--please. After that, if my calculations are correct, 6 January will be our next opportunity. Totals were: 8-1/2 barrels filled and about 8 rocks hoisted. Those Present were: A contingent of Gluesenkamps showed Don Broussardup and distracted the winch operator.

You've probably been there--it's a waterfall along the Rio La Venta. My question is whether there is still a swift colony there. I've pulled up a lot of photos of El Aguacero from the web, and none of them show any swifts flying around, and I don't get any web hits searching on the appropriate wording either.

Geary Schindel Director - Chief Technical Officer Aquifer Science Edwards Aquifer Authority 210.222.2204 Presentation Description The National Cave and Karst Research Institute: From Inner Space to Outer Space by George Veni, Ph.D. Executive Director The U.S. Congress created the National Cave and Karst Research Institute (NCKRI) in 1998, in partnership with the State of New Mexico and the City of Carlsbad, and was mandated to conduct, support, facilitate, and promote programs in all aspects of cave and karst research, management, education, data archiving, and national and international collaborations. NCKRI is a non-profit corporation administered by the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. While many of NCKRI's early years were spent building a physical headquarters and administrative foundations, it has worked consistently toward its mandates at the local, national, and international level. The past couple of years have seen substantial growth in activities through a variety of projects that include: * The Karst Information Portal: an open access international virtual cave and karst library. * Designing state-of-the-art exhibits for NCKRI's National Cave and Karst Museum. * Geophysical research on and to prevent collapse of anthropogenic sinkholes more than 100 m in diameter. * Humanitarian project to alleviate karst-related flooding problems in Guatemala. * Karst aquifer management workshops for educators and managers taught in Brazil, Mexico, Texas, and West Virginia. * Nationwide evaluation of cave and karst research, management, and education programs at all U.S. National Parks containing caves and/or karst. * Dye tracing in arid karst terrains. * Hosting two national and three international conferences over the next 18 months. * Geomicrobiological research on the potential for extraterrestrial life. * To learn about these and other NCKRI projects, and on how you might be able to partner with NCKRI, come to the lecture. If you can't make it, check out www.nckri.orghttp://www.nckri.org. Biography Dr. Veni is an internationally recognized hydrogeologist specializing in caves and karst terrains. Prior to NCKRI, he owned and served as principal investigator of George Veni and Associates for more than 20 years in San Antonio. Much of his work has been in Texas, but he has also conducted extensive karst research throughout the United States and in several other countries. He presently serves as Vice President of Administration for the International Union of Speleology and has served as a doctoral committee advisor for geological, geographical, and biological dissertations for multiple universities and taught karst geoscience courses as an adjunct professor for Western Kentucky University for 12 years. Three cave-dwelling species have been named in his honor, including one causing some recent angst for the Texas Department of Transportation! He has published and presented nearly 170 papers, including four books, on hydrogeology, biology, and environmental management in karst terrains.

[PBSS] Fwd: [NSSwest] FW: Join us for The Mysteries of Easter Island Caves [1 Attachment]
Caves on Easter Island? Yikes! Jacqui Please remove text above this line. The Mysteries of Easter Island Caves Join us for a Webinar on January 10 Space is limited Reserve your Webinar seat now at: https://www4.gotomeeting.com/register/353722487 This presentation will discuss our current findings, interpretations, and future directions for cave research and conservation on “Te Pito o Te Henua” (or Navel of the World). Our efforts represent the first study to investigate both the biology and archaeology of Rapanui caves. The natural and cultural history of caves has received little attention on Easter Island (known to Polynesians as “Rapa Nui”). Given the long history of forest conversion and other intensive human uses, the current landscape is vastly different from what the first Polynesian settlers observed upon arrival circa 1200 CE. Today, less than four percent of the over 400 known arthropod species are either endemic or colonized the island without man’s assistance; however, our recent discoveries of several new arthropod species suggest some of these organisms may be relicts of ancient native ecosystems. Although early explorers and missionaries encouraged the Rapanui people to search for and remove artifacts from their caves (many are curated in Museo Antropológico Padre Sebastián Englert), vestiges of extensive human use prior to European contact remain. Our efforts represent the first study to investigate both the biology and archaeology of Rapanui caves.

Then Sunday morning we, which now included Ernie, pulled about another 8 rocks out, some two at a time. By the time that was done the winch was hot and most everybody else had shown up. Our concentration of energy was to get the floor lowered so we could focus on digging down the side-wall of the cave at a later date to find going passage. One crawl way dig to the north is still fairly low difficult of access. Once the floor level is lower we can start pushing that lead in more earnest. With 5 or 6 people working in the hole 6 barrels were rapidly filled and the winch truck called for. It was lunch time anyway. The winch managed to lift all 6 barrels out before it needed another rest. John Schneider showed up about the time the hauling was completed. All the others took their leave and John and I filled 2-1/2 more barrels and unearthed a few more rocks in the doing it, calling it quits at 3 o'clock. The barrels did not get hoisted, however. We'll try to get that done this week, along with some rocks. The next dig is scheduled for the 23rd December but I probably won't be there. Anybody wanting to go fill the barrels is welcomed to. Be careful to not dig the supports out from under any overhead rocks--please. After that, if my calculations are correct, 6 January will be our next opportunity. Totals were: 8-1/2 barrels filled and about 8 rocks hoisted. Those Present were: A contingent of Gluesenkamps showed Don Broussardup and distracted the winch operator.

You've probably been there--it's a waterfall along the Rio La Venta. My question is whether there is still a swift colony there. I've pulled up a lot of photos of El Aguacero from the web, and none of them show any swifts flying around, and I don't get any web hits searching on the appropriate wording either. Any clues as to who has been there recently would be very helpful. Thanks, Dave Whitacre A chicken is the egg's way of making another egg.

Geary Schindel Director - Chief Technical Officer Aquifer Science Edwards Aquifer Authority 210.222.2204 Presentation Description The National Cave and Karst Research Institute: From Inner Space to Outer Space by George Veni, Ph.D. Executive Director The U.S. Congress created the National Cave and Karst Research Institute (NCKRI) in 1998, in partnership with the State of New Mexico and the City of Carlsbad, and was mandated to conduct, support, facilitate, and promote programs in all aspects of cave and karst research, management, education, data archiving, and national and international collaborations. NCKRI is a non-profit corporation administered by the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. While many of NCKRI's early years were spent building a physical headquarters and administrative foundations, it has worked consistently toward its mandates at the local, national, and international level. The past couple of years have seen substantial growth in activities through a variety of projects that include: * The Karst Information Portal: an open access international virtual cave and karst library. * Designing state-of-the-art exhibits for NCKRI's National Cave and Karst Museum. * Geophysical research on and to prevent collapse of anthropogenic sinkholes more than 100 m in diameter. * Humanitarian project to alleviate karst-related flooding problems in Guatemala. * Karst aquifer management workshops for educators and managers taught in Brazil, Mexico, Texas, and West Virginia. * Nationwide evaluation of cave and karst research, management, and education programs at all U.S. National Parks containing caves and/or karst. * Dye tracing in arid karst terrains. * Hosting two national and three international conferences over the next 18 months. * Geomicrobiological research on the potential for extraterrestrial life. * To learn about these and other NCKRI projects, and on how you might be able to partner with NCKRI, come to the lecture. If you can't make it, check out www.nckri.orghttp://www.nckri.org. Biography Dr. Veni is an internationally recognized hydrogeologist specializing in caves and karst terrains. Prior to NCKRI, he owned and served as principal investigator of George Veni and Associates for more than 20 years in San Antonio. Much of his work has been in Texas, but he has also conducted extensive karst research throughout the United States and in several other countries. He presently serves as Vice President of Administration for the International Union of Speleology and has served as a doctoral committee advisor for geological, geographical, and biological dissertations for multiple universities and taught karst geoscience courses as an adjunct professor for Western Kentucky University for 12 years. Three cave-dwelling species have been named in his honor, including one causing some recent angst for the Texas Department of Transportation! He has published and presented nearly 170 papers, including four books, on hydrogeology, biology, and environmental management in karst terrains.
