Call for abstracts -- National Cave and Karst Management Symposium‏

[rhychydwr1]

The National Cave and Karst Management Symposium (NCKMS) is now accepting abstracts for its next meeting, which will be held on 4-8 November 2013 at the National Cave and Karst Research Institute (NCKRI) in Carlsbad, New Mexico. This is the 20th of this internationally attended conference series. For details about the conference and to submit an abstract, go to https://sites.google.com/site/nckms2013/home.

Please note the following deadlines. They are a little earlier than usual for NCKMS because by popular demand we plan to have the proceedings ready in time for distribution at the symposium, instead of after which has been the norm.

-- March 15, 2013: Abstract due
-- April 1, 2013: Authors notified of abstract acceptance
-- June 1, 2013: Draft manuscripts due
-- August 14, 2013: Authors provided with review and comments
-- September 9, 2013: Final papers due

Anyone needing financial assistance to attend NCKMS, especially students, are encouraged to apply for a George N. Huppert Scholarship. For information about the scholarship and how to apply, visit: http://nckms.org/scholar.shtml

On-line registration for the conference will be posted soon.

Please share this message with anyone you think may be interested.

I hope to see you in Carlsbad in November at NCKMS. For information on other conferences hosted by NCKRI, visit: http://nckri.org/events/conference.html.

I dont have a degree in geology or karst science (My MS is in the biochem sciences), but I have been wondering about writing up my phosphorescent studies and such. I've written articles for publication in my field before, but never in the geo/karst field. I presume it is similar? Would they accept submissions from a non-PhD?

I'm quite sure they would, providing the subject matter was relevant to the conference. Why not give George a call & ask him?

I asked, they want management topics only. But I have some ideas of where to write something to get published.
