2007 1st Semi-Annual "Best of Karst" Event
The Student Karst Research Group at USF announces our first Semi-Annual "Best of Karst" Event January 24-28, 2007.
We are proud to be hosting Dr. Alexander Klimchouk as our first featured speaker. The week's schedule (see below) includes field trips on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, a lecture and reception on Wednesday evening, and a fundraising picnic involving hamburgers and a keg of beer at Dr. Bob Brinkmann's house on Saturday evening. Expect to be hit up for money - we are raising funds for the UIKS Libary Fund to help replace the lost karst library. Also expect to run into other karst notables from around the country who will be present for a meeting concerning the Karst Information Portal here at USF.
