The presentation will be held at Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas. The presentation will begin at 9 am and end approximately 4:30 pm. The cost for the event is $25 dollars for the public and $15 for students. For a flyer describing the lecture, please email Geary Schindel at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.
Dr. Andrej Mihevc will present a one-day workshop on karst and karst geomorphology with special focus to the Dinaric Karst region--one of the most important karst regions in the world. It is the area where the word karst originated and where some early paradigm of karst morphology and hydrology began. The workshop will cover a wide range of issues related to karst sciences, from the history of cave and karst exploration, from an essentially geomorphological paradigm, to living with karst. You may register on line at http://www.eventzilla.net/web/event?eventid=2139005661 Topics: * Dinaric Karst-one of the most important karst landscapes of the world; * History of cave and karst exploration; * Karst geomorphology: caves, dolines, karst poljes, age and evolution; * Life on and with karst landscapes. Biography Dr. Andrej Mihevc began his career in cave exploration in the late 1960s. He graduated with a Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Ljubljana. Since 1980, he has worked as a researcher at the Karst Research Institute at the Slovenia Academy of Sciences and Arts in Postojna. Dr. Mihevc is an associate professor at the University of Ljubljana where he teaches a course on the Geography of Karst and is also a graduate lecturer at the University Nova Gorica. He is an instructor at the International Karstological Schools Classical Karst program organized by the Karst Research Institute and is an active member of numerous national and international speleological organizations. His research interests in karst include speleology and geomorphology, palaeontology, history of speleology and land use management of karst areas. Most of his research work has occurred in the Dinaric and Alpine karst areas in Slovenia and neighboring countries.
