The First International Planetary Cave Research Workshop is a
follow-up to the 2008 Lava Tube Workshop held in Grant, New Mexico,
which brought together researchers with interests in lava tubes from
diverse backgrounds, ranging from image analysis to modeling to
robotics.
This workshop is the first in a continuing series of meetings that are
intended to promote the exchange of knowledge and ideas between
planetary and terrestrial scientists interested in cave exploration
and research across the solar system. In recognition of the broad
scope, interdisciplinary nature, and strong international interest in
this topic, the participation of any interested scientist with
relevant theoretical, experimental, or field experience is strongly
encouraged.
The workshop will incorporate oral and poster presentations as well as
extended discussion dispersed around a one-day field trip to local
caves. The workshop will bring together researchers with interests in
planetary caves from diverse backgrounds in image analysis, modeling,
and terrestrial analog studies. A small group setting will facilitate
intensive discussion of problems and issues in an attempt to identify
the most promising approaches to understanding these cave systems and
to develop a collaborative interdisciplinary research agenda.
The First International Planetary Cave Research Workshop: Implications
for Astrobiology, Climate, Detection, and Exploration will be held
October 25?28, 2011, at the National Cave and Karst Research
Institute, 400-1 Cascades Avenue, Carlsbad, NM 88220 USA (phone:
575-887-5518). The workshop will also include a one-day field trip.
Abstract Deadline: Tuesday, August 9, 2011, 5:00 p.m. U.S. Central
Daylight Time (GMT-5)
Registration Deadline: October 11, 2011 (no on-site registration will
be available)

2011 National Cave & Karst Management Symposium
Early registration for the 2011 National Cave & Karst Management
Symposium ends this weekend! It is going to be the perfect event to
learn and network from people invested in cave and karst management,
ecosystems, and research and there are some really great people
already registered. Don't miss out on the registration discounts!
Find registration at: http://nckms2011.eventbrite.com/
When you fill out your registration form- you will be required to
select a field trip. The Logan Canyon field trip will show some really
amazing alpine karst and hydrological features but there are limited
seating for this trip. The Timpanogos Cave field trip will get you out
in the mountains and get you hiking- this will not be your typical
cave tour! The field trip will focus on management issues and
challenges of a show cave in a mountainous environment.
In addition to the sessions and the field trips, there are several
valuable workshops available. Project Underground for
outdoor(underground) education is perfect for people involved in
education and interpretation. And don't miss Bat Conservation
International's Bat Cave Assessment and Management. These will be
offered on Monday October 3. While the workshops are going on there
will also be a vertical rope training for those who need to hone in on
rope skills. All of these classes have limited seating and are
starting to fill up so don't miss out!
Finally, the event is being held at the beautiful Zermatt Resort in
Midway. This five star resort is giving us a KILLER deal on a block of
rooms. When they are gone, they are gone, so make your reservations
now before they disappear! We have been given a special reservation
number at 855-549-6707.
Some of the upcoming deadlines for the NCKMS:
July 31 Early registration ends
August 1 Scholarship Applications Due
August 15 Abstracts and Biographical Sketches Due
October 15 Final Papers Due

interested!
See you there!
