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. Contact me directly if you or someone you know has something to teach us about: vicechair...@cavetexas.org<mailto:vicechair...@cavetexas.org>
