Call for Papers
National Cave and Karst Management Symposium October 19-23, 2015
Cave City, Kentucky
 
We are now accepting papers for NCKMS 2015.   The theme for the Symposium is "Hidden
 Landscapes – Hidden Challenges", with particular emphasis on management issues related to human impact on karst. However, we encourage oral presentations and/ or poster submissions on all topics related to the  management of caves and karst resources.  The
 deadline for paper submission is September 7, 2015. Visit our website for more information on the Call for Papers. ( http://www.cave-research.org/NCKMS2015/callForPapers.html ).
 
The 21 st  Annual National Cave and Karst Management Symposium will be held in the heart of the southcentral Kentucky karst in the Mammoth Cave region
 of the state.  The venue for NCKMS 2015 is the Cave City Convention Center located in Cave City, Kentucky, situated just minutes of off Interstate I-65 and convenient to the international airports of Nashville, Tennessee ( 1.5 hours to the south) and Louisville,
 Kentucky (1.5 hours to the north). Since the early 1800s, Cave City has hosted visitors to Mammoth Cave National Park, which is a  World
 Heritage Site ,  International
 Biosphere Reserve , and the second oldest tourist attraction in the United States with 53,000 acres of natural preserve and over 400 miles of mapped passageways...the longest cave system in the world. The Symposium is hosted
 by Cave Research Foundation, Mammoth Cave National Park, and Western Kentucky University.
 
As the theme for NCKMS 2015 is “Hidden Landscapes-Hidden Challenges”, field trips will visit the surface and hidden landscapes of Mammoth Cave National Park
 and surrounding areas and will also feature field trips to Bowling Green, Kentucky to discuss the challenges of urban development on karst.  
 
A selection of seven outstanding workshops will be offered on Monday, October 19, 2015.  The workshops will provide hands-on experiences with the techniques
 and skills necessary for studying, monitoring, and managing cave systems and karst areas. The week after NCKMS 2015, Mammoth Cave and WKU’s Karst Field Studies Program will be offering a week-long course on cave management (October 26-30, 2015).  The course
 can be taken as a workshop, for university credit (either graduate or undergraduate), or for Continuing Education credits.  See the website for more information.
