[Texascavers] FW: [SWR] Digital tour of Son Doong cave cave

2015-05-26 Thread via Texascavers
A very cool link and way to explore a very cool cave.

Not quite as cool as visiting, but, it’ll have to do until then.


Enjoy!

doctoral study

To: i...@zrc-sazu.si


Dobrodošli na doktorski študij krasoslovja

Doktorski program »Krasoslovje« je edini doktorski program te vrste na svetu, 
ki ponuja celovit študij krasoslovja – študij kraškega površja, kraškega 
podzemlja, kraške hidrogeologije ter biologije in ekologije krasa na enem 
mestu. Namenjen je študentom, ki se želijo spoznati z raznolikimi posebnostmi 
krasa tudi prek raziskovalnih izzivov. Temeljni cilj študija je izobraževanje 
dveh vrst krasoslovcev: krasoslovec raziskovalec je usposobljen za samostojne 
raziskave krasa in kraških pojavov z najrazličnejših vidikov; krasoslovec 
uporabnik oziroma upravljavec pa zna vse znanje o krasu ožje usmerjenih 
strokovnjakov uporabiti za najrazličnejše uporabne namene (gospodarstvo, 
izobraževanje, varstvo okolja).
Program smo razvili raziskovalci Inštituta za raziskovanje krasa ZRC SAZU in 
Univerze v Novi Gorici, ki ga, poleg izbranih tujih predavateljev, tudi 
izvajamo. Predavanja in raziskave potekajo v prostorih Inštituta za 
raziskovanje krasa v Postojni, kjer študentje dobijo vso potrebno strokovno in 
znanstveno podporo za svoje raziskovalno delo.  Uspešno vodenje doktorskega 
študijskega programa Krasoslovje je leta 2014 pripeljalo do imenovanja programa 
Krasoslovno študijsko središče Unesca – UNESCO Chair on Karst Education.

Welcome to Karstology doctoral study

The Karstology doctoral study programme is a world-wide unique programme which 
provides a comprehensive study of karst science, combining the study of the 
karst landscape, karst caves, karst hydrogeology, biology and ecology of karst 
in one course of study. It was designed for students who wish to gain deeper 
insight of this broadly integrated system of karst sciences. The fundamental 
objective of the programme is to produce two types of karstologists. The first 
is the karstologist-researcher who can conduct independent research on karst 
and karst phenomena from multiple aspects. The second type is the 
karstologist- manager who can apply the full knowledge of karst conveyed by 
narrowly specialized experts for different applications (economy, education, 
protection).
The programme was developed with researchers of the Karst Research Institute at 
Research Centre of the Slovene Academy of Sciences and Arts (ZRC SAZU) and is 
carried out by professors and researchers from Karst Research Institute and 
invited foreign professors, and is coordinated and managed by the University of 
Nova Gorica. Lectures and research take place in the premises of the Karst 
Research Institute in Postojna where students are provided all necessary 
professional and scientific support for their own research work. Successful 
functioning of doctoral study programme Karstology resulted in naming it in 
2014 as the UNESCO Chair on Karst Education.

I have spent time with Dr. Knez (and his family) in the field (both here in the 
US and in Slovenia). He would be a good man to work under. AND his English is 
excellent.
