Dear Friends, Last week NCKRI hosted the Sinkhole Conference, which based on the many calls, e-mails, and personal comments we've received, went fabulously well. We're now looking forward to hosting another conference on 4-8 November 2013: the National Cave and Karst Management Symposium (NCKMS). We've teamed up with the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and US Forest Service to make it exceptional.
As an important reminder, in two weeks and three days, June 1st 2013, is the deadline for NCKMS papers. Do not expect any leeway in that deadline because to address a concern about some past NCKMSs, where the proceedings were not published until well after the meeting, we will have the proceedings ready when you arrive! The theme for the 2013 NCKMS is "A Changing Climate," and will address the topic of climate change in the broadest sense, to include the impact of changes in our physical climate as well as changes in the political, technological, and social climate on cave and karst management. However, we encourage authors to submit papers on all topics relevant to the management of caves and karst resources. We have already received several interesting papers and the US National Park Service is planning a big showing to present their new cave and karst inventory and monitoring protocols. A great line-up of workshops and trips are scheduled, and the registration price is a bargain. George Huppert Scholarships are available for those, especially students, needing financial assistance.

I hope to see you at the National Cave and Karst Research Institute in Carlsbad, New Mexico, for the 20th NCKMS on 4-8 November 2013!
