Dear Friends, I am happy to announce that the 15th Multidisciplinary Conference on Sinkholes and the Engineering and Environmental Impacts of Karst, which is generally known as "The Sinkhole Conference," will be held in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, on 2-6 April 2018. Mark your calendars!
For over 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 visit the middle-Appalachian region for the first time. The venue will be the National Conservation Training Center, a beautiful facility that is conveniently located for field trips in the karst along the Potomac River, and for access only a short drive from major airports in the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore areas. The conference website site has an easy-to-remember address: http://www.sinkholeconference.com/. Bookmark and visit it for more information. Check out the "Past Conferences" tab, which includes the proceedings of the past two Sinkhole Conferences for free download and photos of last year's 14th Conference. Student and professors, look at the information on the Beck Scholarship which supports students attending the conference. Information on lodging, the call for papers, registration, and more will be posted toward the end this year and early in 2017. The main thing for now is to save the date on your calendars to attend this internationally attended and acclaimed meeting. If you have any questions, let me know. Also, please feel free to distribute this information to anyone you think may be interested.
