NCKRI is involved with a variety of partners in developing a new and fully digital, GIS-based World Karst Map. I'm coordinating the collection of data from North America. The USGS is assembling data on major US karst springs, but I got an e-mail today asking if I could find someone who is skilled with Excel to help with reformatting US data into the format needed for the World Karst Map project. The work would be done over the next couple of months. I haven't seen the volume of data involved but understand that the amount of time needed will depend at least in part on the person's skill level with Excel.
If you are interested in volunteering to help with this (everyone, including USGS and NCKRI is volunteering their time on this project), let me know and I'll connect you with the USGS people working on this. I just need one person, so this will go to the first person I hear from, although I'll take back-up names just in case they are needed.
