A Short Course (All Day)
A one-day course entitled “Speleology for Cavers” will be offered on Friday, July 22. Come learn the difference between strike and the dip, vadose and phreatic, and the birds and the bats. Bring home with you the geologic reason why there are two parallel passages in Sinnett’s Big Room, the meaning to cavers of Bogli’s mixing corrosion, and the difference between the lifestyles of Riparia riparia and Pipistrellus subflavious. Experts in Speleology will lecture on Geology, Meteorology, Chemistry, Hydrology, Biology, and
Paleontology. The course will go the full day, cost $40, and includes extensive printed course notes and lunch.
Registration is limited to 35 people.
