Re: [Texascavers] Fwd: Austin_Water_CER_lunchtime_lectures_announcement_2020.pdf - HUmboldt lectures

Geary,

You can download audio or video podcasts of the lectures (including ones from 
the past two years, different themes) at the following site:

https://austineconetwork.com/nature-in-the-city/

Isn’t the Internet grand? You can watch these on your own time, multiple times 
and in an environmentally friendly way.

And if you haven’t read it, try “The Invention of Nature: Alexander von 
Humboldt’s New World” by Andrea Wulf.

Dang,

That is an incredible series, wish I lived closer to Austin. Von Homboldt is 
one of my favorite scientists, he did a lot of work in South America including 
spending time in Quito when there is a statute to him.

One of the great minds of his time and maybe the last renaissance man.

A friend who works at UT forwarded this to me, and these lectures sound like 
they might be of interest to UT and Austin area folks
sorry for the spam, if not.

[Texascavers] Fwd: Speleological Abstracts -- BBS/SA collaborators needed

2020-01-09 Thread mminton 

Hello cavers!

The BBS/SA (Speleological Abstracts) is looking for collaborators who
would be interested in abstracting the caving newsletters/magazines
published in the US. The task consists of filling out a standard form
for each article/feature of the newsletter into a database. Each entry
describes briefly the content of the article (the abstract), assigns it
a location, an author, a category, the newsletter's name, and that's
about it. I have an example of a full abstract below.

The BBS/SA is a worldwide bibliography that allows you to find articles
on cave exploration, geology, biology, conservation, paleontology,
rescue, you name it, published anywhere in the world. But in order for
all this precious information to be available, it requires dedicated
collaborators in each country. At the present time, the US does not have
any.

If you're already reading the NSS News, or other regional newsletters,
please consider joining the team!

For more info on how to become a collaborator, please contact:

Anamaria Häuselmann at a...@speleo.ch (copied on this message)

Thanks so much, and please forward to other mailing lists, especially
beyond our local area.

Yvonne Droms

Example:

Location: North America: Virginia/West Virginia
Newsletter: The West Virginia Caver, Vol. 25, no 4 (August 2007): page 9
Authors: MINTON, Mark; DROMS, Yvonne
Title: Hellhole Trip Report 19 May 2007 - Low Bore
Abstract: Account of an exploration trip into Hellhole in Pendleton
County, West Virginia. After some digging, various tight leads were
checked, some passage was found, and a good lead remains.
