Dear Friends,

Registration for the 14th Multidisciplinary Conference on Sinkholes and the 
Engineering and Environmental Impacts of Karst is now open! Registration is 
open not just for the conference but also for its four excellent short courses 
and field trip.

Additionally, we are now accepting full papers as well as abstracts (the 
deadline for abstracts is 1 December 2014; papers may be submitted later if the 
abstract is submitted by the deadline).

Just as important, if you are a student or know one, we encourage students to 
apply for the Barry F. Beck Student Scholarship that includes free registration 
to the conference plus up to $1,000 for travel expenses. We encourage 
organizations and working professionals to donate to the scholarship fund to 
provide even more scholarships to help boost the careers of young karst 
scientists. All donations are tax deductable.

Generally known as "The Sinkhole Conference," for 30 years this conference 
series has been the premier conference for all aspects of karst geoscience and 
related engineering and environmental issues-and not just sinkholes. This next 
Sinkhole Conference will be held in Rochester, Minnesota, USA, on 5-9 October 
2015, and jointly organized with the Minnesota Groundwater Association it 
should be an exceptional meeting!

The Sinkhole Conference now has a permanent website at the easy-to-remember 
address: http://www.sinkholeconference.com/. Bookmark and visit it for 
information on how to register, submit an abstract and paper, find all 
deadlines, details on the Beck Scholarship, and other information. It also 
includes the proceedings of the 13th Sinkhole Conference for free download. The 
"Destination" tab has a lot of great Information on Rochester, transportation, 
hotels, maps, dining, etc.

If you have any questions, let me know. Please distribute this information to 
anyone you think may be interested.

On behalf of the many fine engineers and geologists on the Sinkhole Conference 
Organizing Committee, we look forward to seeing you one year from now in 
Rochester!

George
