I don't know what the date is - the trailer was shown at the end of
Nova's 'Oklahoma Tornado Massacre'.  I'm guessing it will be on next

You wear a Red Bull wetsuit, and get into the cave by jumping fully 
geared up from a helicopter hovering 1000 ft above a cenote. Of course, 
you need a GoPro attached to your helmet.

[Texascavers] Geological Society of America Karst Sessions: highlight on Transport and Transformation of Non-Solute Materials in Karst Aquifers

2013-05-30 Thread George Veni
Dear Friends,


The next Geological Society of America Convention will be held this Denver, 
Colorado on 27-30 October. Six topical sessions on caves and karst are offered 
this year, all sponsored by NCKRI. Following is a message from Ellen Herman, 
Michael Sinreich, and Dorothy Vesper, with a special invitation asking you to 
consider submitting abstracts to their session. Afterward is a summary of the 
other sessions offered.





Please consider submitting an abstract to our proposed session for the 2013 GSA 
Annual Meeting, 27-30 October:TRANSPORT AND TRANSFORMATION OF NON-SOLUTE 
MATERIALS IN KARST AQUIFER.

Our purpose in this session is to focus on innovative studies and techniques 
related to non-solute materials in karst waters. In particular, we encourage 
the submission of abstracts related to sediments, particulate tracers, 
contaminants (especially non-aqueous phase liquids), and biota. We hope that 
this session will help integrate across the research in these areas and that we 
can all learn from the overlap in techniques and applications.

We are pleased to have confirmation from the following invited speakers:

Michiel Pronk, Centre for Hydrogeology and Geothermics CHYN, Univ. of Neuchâtel
Ingrid Padilla, Dept. of Civil Eng. and Surveying, Univ. Puerto Rico Mayagüez
Ben Schwartz, Dept. of Geology, Texas State Univ.

Look for Session # T63. The deadline for submission is Tuesday, August 6.
http://community.geosociety.org/2013AnnualMeeting/

Regards,
Ellen Herman, Michael Sinreich, and Dorothy Vesper

Also offered at GSA Convention this year are the following sessions:

T58. 125 Years Underground: A Retrospective and Prospective of Cave and Karst 
Research
GSA Hydrogeology Division; National Cave and Karst Research Institute (NCKRI); 
GSA Geophysics Division; GSA Environmental and Engineering Geology Division; 
GSA Quaternary Geology and Geomorphology Division
George Veni, Lewis Land
Caves and karst were once viewed as geologic curiosities but are now recognized 
as important features and terrains. This session reviews 125 years of 
cave/karst science, emphasizing the last 50 years, and looks toward future 
advancements.

T59. Assessing Hazards and Groundwater Contamination in Karst
GSA Environmental and Engineering Geology Division; GSA Hydrogeology Division; 
National Cave and Karst Research Institute (NCKRI)
Yongli Gao
Groundwater contamination and hazards such as sinkholes are the two most common 
environmental concerns in karst lands. This session focuses on advancements in 
technology and approaches for hazard assessment and contamination investigation 
in karst areas.

T60. Caves as Deep Time Repositories of Geological, Biological, and 
Anthropological Information
GSA Hydrogeology Division; Geochemical Society; GSA Archaeological Geology 
Division; GSA Geobiology  Geomicrobiology Division; GSA Geology and Society 
Division; GSA Geophysics Division; GSA Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Petrology, and 
Volcanology Division; GSA Quaternary Geology and Geomorphology Division; GSA 
Sedimentary Geology Division; Mineralogical Society of America; National Cave 
and Karst Research Institute (NCKRI); SEPM (Society for Sedimentary Geology)
Joshua M. Feinberg, E. Calvin Alexander Jr
Caves serve as deep time repositories of scientific information. This session 
welcomes contributions utilizing cave deposits to create time series of 
original data that capture information about the evolution of geologic, 
biologic, and anthropological systems.

T61. Karst 2.0: Orogenies and Glaciers and Faulting-Oh My! The Impact of 
Changing Geologic Conditions on Existing Karst Terrane and the New Tools and 
Techniques We Have to Study It
GSA Quaternary Geology and Geomorphology Division; National Cave and Karst 
Research Institute (NCKRI)
Cory W. Blackeagle
Once established, how does karst terrain change in response to subsequent 
changes in its region's geologic setting? How are those changes from initial 
conditions recognized? What cutting-edge technologies are being used in karst 
research today?

T62. The Epikarst as a Boundary and Critical Zone
GSA Hydrogeology Division; National Cave and Karst Research Institute (NCKRI)
Benjamin F. Schwartz, Madeline E. Schreiber
We welcome work on epikarst, including modeling, field studies, and novel 
method developments, that advances our understanding of hydrobiogeochemical 
processes, physical constraints, and environmental controls on epikarst 
function as a surface-subsurface boundary and critical zone.

T123. Geology in the National Parks: Research, Mapping, and Resource Management
GSA Geophysics Division; National Cave and Karst Research Institute (NCKRI)
Bruce Heise, Jason P. Kenworthy, Timothy B. Connors

Hi All:
Its 3 classes, from 1-3pm on  Tuesdays, at the Continuing Ed Bldg. on 
University Ave. Here is a  schedule.
1. Class #1, June 11th.  Speleogenesis  (how the sulfuric acid 
mechanism for Carlsbad  other Guad caves was  discovered).
2. Class #2, June 18th. Cave minerals and  speleothems - how they form.
3. Class #3, June 25th. NOVA video:  Mysterious Life of Caves. Guest 
speakers: Penny Boston and Diane  Northup talking about the microbiology of 
caves.
Hope you can make it.
Carol
P.S. You must be 50 and over to register for  Osher.
 
THANKS LINDA!

Albuquerque area cavers who are 50  +,


Here's a message from Carol Hill if  you are looking to improve your 
knowledge through UNM Continuing Ed. On a web  site Carol listed for Osher, you 
can see other courses besides Carol's. I  checked the web site but did not see 
her courses listed, but there was one  called Geology of Carlsbad 
Caverns. The cost is a steep $35. I'm not sure if  it's one session or 3. 
You'll 
have to call the number she lists for  information and registration. It's 
505-277-0077. The website is  www.dce.unm.edu.Click on the Osher link and check 
it out. Good luck.  I  will probably call to get the straight poop. They 
show an annual membership  cost of $20. Call the number and decide if it's 
worth it to ya.

Hi Linda:
I will be teaching a class for UNM Continuing Ed  (Osher)/Story of New 
Mexico on June 11-18-25th, Tuesday,1-3 pm. Pete Lindsley  will be video 
taping it for NCKRI, who want it for their archives.
 
Here is the schedule:
June 11th. Speleogenesis of Carlsbad  Caverns
June 18th. Mineralogy of Carlsbad Caverns.
June 25th. NOVA show Mysterious Life of Caves  

At any rate, I thought that some of the grotto  cavers might be interested 
in attending, and that you could pass the word to  them. However, if they 
are interested, they must be over 50 years old and sign  up with Osher (on the 
web) + pay the class fee (I don't know how much it is,  but probably not 
much). Also, maybe some of the older Ft. Stanton people  living in 
Albuquerque might want to attend?
 
Thanks,  Carol

[Texascavers] Geological Society of America Karst Sessions: highlight on Transport and Transformation of Non-Solute Materials in Karst Aquifers

2013-05-30 Thread George Veni
Dear Friends,


The next Geological Society of America Convention will be held this Denver, 
Colorado on 27-30 October. Six topical sessions on caves and karst are offered 
this year, all sponsored by NCKRI. Following is a message from Ellen Herman, 
Michael Sinreich, and Dorothy Vesper, with a special invitation asking you to 
consider submitting abstracts to their session. Afterward is a summary of the 
other sessions offered.





Please consider submitting an abstract to our proposed session for the 2013 GSA 
Annual Meeting, 27-30 October:TRANSPORT AND TRANSFORMATION OF NON-SOLUTE 
MATERIALS IN KARST AQUIFER.

Our purpose in this session is to focus on innovative studies and techniques 
related to non-solute materials in karst waters. In particular, we encourage 
the submission of abstracts related to sediments, particulate tracers, 
contaminants (especially non-aqueous phase liquids), and biota. We hope that 
this session will help integrate across the research in these areas and that we 
can all learn from the overlap in techniques and applications.

We are pleased to have confirmation from the following invited speakers:

Michiel Pronk, Centre for Hydrogeology and Geothermics CHYN, Univ. of Neuchâtel
Ingrid Padilla, Dept. of Civil Eng. and Surveying, Univ. Puerto Rico Mayagüez
Ben Schwartz, Dept. of Geology, Texas State Univ.

Look for Session # T63. The deadline for submission is Tuesday, August 6.

Hi Linda:
I will be teaching a class for UNM Continuing Ed  (Osher)/Story of New 
Mexico on June 11-18-25th, Tuesday,1-3 pm. Pete Lindsley  will be video 
taping it for NCKRI, who want it for their archives.
 
Here is the schedule:
June 11th. Speleogenesis of Carlsbad  Caverns
June 18th. Mineralogy of Carlsbad Caverns.
June 25th. NOVA show Mysterious Life of Caves  

At any rate, I thought that some of the grotto  cavers might be interested 
in attending, and that you could pass the word to  them. However, if they 
are interested, they must be over 50 years old and sign  up with Osher (on the 
web) + pay the class fee (I don't know how much it is,  but probably not 
much). Also, maybe some of the older Ft. Stanton people  living in 
Albuquerque might want to attend?
 
Thanks,  Carol

You wear a Red Bull wetsuit, and get into the cave by jumping fully 
geared up from a helicopter hovering 1000 ft above a cenote. Of course, 
you need a GoPro attached to your helmet.

Hi Linda:
I will be teaching a class for UNM Continuing Ed  (Osher)/Story of New 
Mexico on June 11-18-25th, Tuesday,1-3 pm. Pete Lindsley  will be video 
taping it for NCKRI, who want it for their archives.
 
Here is the schedule:
June 11th. Speleogenesis of Carlsbad  Caverns
June 18th. Mineralogy of Carlsbad Caverns.
June 25th. NOVA show Mysterious Life of Caves  

At any rate, I thought that some of the grotto  cavers might be interested 
in attending, and that you could pass the word to  them. However, if they 
are interested, they must be over 50 years old and sign  up with Osher (on the 
web) + pay the class fee (I don't know how much it is,  but probably not 
much). Also, maybe some of the older Ft. Stanton people  living in 
Albuquerque might want to attend?
 
Thanks,  Carol
