COOL!! I checked out the Web site and am very impressed by the layout and style and ease of use. Upon reading the fine print, I learned the Web site was created and maintained by The Texas Caver editor, Jill Orr.
EXCELLENT JOB, JILL! As George mentioned, this is the first time this workshop will be held in the US, and for good reason. I am sure it will be a long time before it comes back to the US. Take advantage. There are opportunities for ice caving, and Idaho is beautiful in August, when Texas is blazing hot! Thanks for the heads up George, and great job getting NCKRI as the US sponsor. No wonder you never sleep. You are too busy partnering with other orgs to bring us excellent cave information. julia -----Original Message----- From: George Veni <gv...@nckri.org> To: New Mexico Cavers <s...@caver.net>; TexasCavers. com <Texascavers@texascavers.com> Sent: Wed, Dec 11, 2013 4:59 pm Subject: [Texascavers] 6th International Workshop on Ice Caves: Call for Papers Dear Friends, The 6th International Workshop on Ice Caves (IWIC-VI) is coming to Idaho Falls, Idaho, USA, on 17-22 August 2014 and I’m pleased to announce our Call for Papers!

We encourage submission of full manuscripts but will accept extended abstracts for publication in the conference proceedings volume. The deadline for submission of all manuscripts and extended abstracts is 14 April, 2014. For more information on the conference, visithttp://www.iwic-vi.org/index.html. Also, look for the announcement on the opening of registration for IWIC-VI, which will to start soon. IWIC is a series of conferences devoted entirely to ice cave studies, where international experts discuss ongoing research efforts and promote global cooperation in ice cave science and management. IWIC is a conference of the Glacier, Firn, and Ice Caves Commission of the International Union of Speleology, and IWIC-VI is being hosted by the National Cave and Karst Research Institute of the USA. On behalf of the IWIC-VI Organizing Committee, we look forward to receiving your papers and meeting you in Idaho Falls in August 2014.
