Hi Kris, 

You’ve got me down to give a presentation, right? It’ll be titled: “Proyecto 
Espeleologico Sistema Huautla (PESH) - the 2022 Expedition”.

[Texascavers] TSA Spring Convention - Call for Presenters

2022-02-22 Thread Kris Pena
The TSA Spring Convention is happening May 20-22 this year and I'm putting
out the call for presenters!

Have something you'd love to tell your fellow cavers about? Or maybe a
workshop you've dreamed of giving? We're looking for people to give talks
and lead workshops at this year's convention.

Do you think maybe you have an idea, but you're worried it's not relevant?
Cavers have wide and varied interests. If it's something you think you
might want to hear about, chances are your caver friends might too.

Here's some ideas of subjects that you might not have thought about:
* Trip Reports of adventures to new and interesting places
* Trip Reports of new adventures to places we all know and love
* Hydrology - water flowing through caves, water in the aquifer, water on
the surface
* Geology - geology in caves, rock formations, the limestone of Texas
* Biology - animals that spend their whole lives in caves, about animals
that make their homes in caves some of the time (raccoons, snakes,
crickets), things living and growing in caves that aren't animals
* Bats - bat science, bat biology, diseases spread by bats, diseases not
spread by bats, WNS updates, bat rescue, bat conservation
* Cave technology - lighting, headlights, survey instruments, environmental
sensors
* Outdoor enthusiast topics - hiking, flora and fauna identification,
animal tracks, things seen on hikes to caves
* Cave Rescue - cave rescue reports or topics related to rescue
* Vertical techniques
* Dark Spaces
* Cave mapping - classic techniques, modern techniques, future techniques

Maybe you still don't think you have something to talk about, but you know
someone else would be perfect? Let me know who and I'll chase them down.

The TCMA will have its annual fundraising auction at convention. It's usually 
on Saturday night after dinner. We are seeking fabulous donations for the 
auction! Please contact me off list if you have donations. And please show up 
for the auction with money to buy stuff! We need to pay for our new cave in 
Carta Valley! :)

The TCMA greatly appreciates the support of our lovely caving community!

Cheers,
Denise
