There already is a gofund me which I have shared on this site. But here it
is again for all those who did not see my last post about this.

Re: [Texascavers] MOPAC extension meets "karst features"

I think that George nailed it.

It’s common for people see geophysics as a solution, but it often isn’t that 
easy. The tools are not one-size-fits-all. Some work in certain circumstances 
and poorly, if at all in others. The equipment is expensive and thus not often 
available. NCKRI’s electrical resistivity system cost $82K, plus an additional 
$35K for some needed associated equipment. Maintenance, repair, and calibration 
are also costly, requiring not just money but time and expertise. Of course 
expertise is needed in determining which system to use, how to design your 
survey, and how to process and interpret the results. Then there is the 
difficulty with the karst features themselves. Most features I’ve found in the 
Balcones Fault Zone area are small and difficult to image, unless you increase 
the resolution of the methods which seriously drives up the costs.

All that said, geophysics are great and useful, but just not easy or cheap.

This bothers me.

Should there not be remote sensing surveys required to identify underground 
voids BEFORE starting work building highways and pipelines? Surely there are 
plenty of experts, including cavers in our area, that are able to do that.
