Dear Friends, Only one week from today, Monday, December 1st, is the deadline for abstracts and also for student grant applications for the 14th Multidisciplinary Conference on Sinkholes and the Engineering and Environmental Impacts of Karst (aka "The Sinkhole Conference"). This internationally attended conference series is not just about sinkholes but all aspects of engineering and environmental research in karst! For 30 years this conference has been the one not to miss, and this time NCKRI is delighted to co-host it with the Minnesota Ground Water Association.
If you are worried about not having all of your information to write your abstract, don't worry. If you follow the abstract with a full paper (deadline is 1 March 2015), you don't need to know all of the details and changes in the abstract are often accepted in the full paper. 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. All applications must include an abstract by 1 December 2014 and its full paper by 1 March 2015. 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 engineers and scientists. All donations are tax deductable. The Conference will be held in Rochester, Minnesota, USA, on 5-9 October 2015. Visit http://www.sinkholeconference.com/ for information on how to register for the conference, submit an abstract and paper, and to find all deadlines, details on the Beck Scholarship, information on short courses, field trips, and much more. Please distribute this information to anyone you think may be interested.
