A reminder that the deadline for the next AMCS Activities Newsletter
is April 15. Material can be accepted for a few days after that, but
that might give the editor less time to check back with the author for
clarifications or additional information. Send articles or news notes
to editor@amcs-pubs.org.
EspeleoQuintanaRoo will be held in Playa del Carmen for 25 to 27 May.
See the web site at http://espeleoquintanaroo2012.orgmx.net/en for
details. From the web site:
The Coahuila Association of Speleology and University of
Quintana Roo are pleased to invite you to participate in the
International Congress of Speleology on Maya Caves. It will be held on
25-27 May 2012 in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico.
Additionally, the Bureau (governing board) of the International
Union of Speleology ("UIS" by its French acronym) will meet in Mexico
for the first time and immediately after the congress on 28-29 May.
The Bureau members will also participate in the congress. The UIS
represents 60 countries from four continents. As I have been
banned for a month there is a delay in these postings.
The Federation of Latin American and Caribbean Speleological
Associations ("FEALC" by its Spanish acronym) will also be at the
congress. FEALC represents 11 countries including Mexico. Other
groups involved in the congress include the Mexican Union of
Speleological Groups ("UMAE"), Mexico's National Commission on Cave
Diving and Speleology ("FMAS"), Brazilian Speleological Society
("SBE"), among others.
The classic AMCS Bulletin 1, "Caves of the Inter-American Highway," by
William Russell and Terry Raines (1967) is now on the AMCS web site as
a free 10MB PDF file, joining the other older bulletins also available
at http://www.amcs-pubs.org/bul/bulcat.html. Note that all of the PDF
files have grayscale or color illustrations highly compressed to
reduce your download time and storage requirements. Everything is
still quite legible, but if someone needs a version equal in quality
to the original printing he may contact the AMCS.
