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. - Fofo On 30/05/13 07:28, Stefan Creaser wrote: Extreme cave diving? Is that like cave diving but without an air supply? S.

Re: [SWR] Fwd: UNM Continuing Ed/Story of NM: The Geology of Carlsbad Caverns
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.

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.

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?

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.

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