The Texas Speleological Survey would like to give a big thank you to outgoing President Ron Ralph who has worked hard to lead the organization over the past few years! We would also like to thank outgoing Editor Kevin Stafford for his work on TSS publications, especially getting the recent high quality "Karst of the Urban Corridor”. Finally we would also like to thank outgoing Director Travis Scott for his service on the Board as well.
The new TSS officers are: Secretary: Jim Kennedy Treasurer: Marvin Miller Editor: Jerry Atkinson President: Joe Mitchell For any newer cavers unfamiliar with the TSS, it is an organization dedicated to the collection and management of data and information about Texas caves. The TSS produces many publications on Texas caves which may be purchased at Texas caving events such as the upcoming TSA Spring Convention and at TCR or from TSS Directors who are members of your grotto. The TSS has an a very extensive library and cave file collection at its office at the Pickle Research Center of the University of Texas in Austin. Cavers are welcome to arrange a visit to search the maps and files to conduct your own research. The TSS also solicits data from cavers to expand the cave database which can be submitted online here: http://www.texasspeleologicalsurvey.org/data_submit/submit.php If you would like to help out the TSS, we are always looking for new volunteers - please contact any Officer or Director for details.
