Folks, I don't think has been announced on Texas Cavers but there are only about 12 seats left. Since it is cave and karst related, I thought folks would like to know.
I'm pleased to announce that Dr. Robert Brinkmann, Professor of Geology, Environment, and Sustainability at Hofstra University, will be the next Edwards Aquifer Authority Distinguished Lecturer on Friday, September 26, 2014. The lecture will be held at Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas. Dr. Brinkmann will be speaking on Sustainability, Water, and Karst.
