T101. Karst Sedimentary, Paleoclimate, and Historical Records Cave deposits, karst environmental records, and geoarchaeological and historical investigations to interpret past climates, landscapes, extreme events, and land-use histories, and to model or predict future changes.

*UPCOMING DEADLINE* Geological Society of America Abstract Submission Deadline: June 18, 2024 gsa.confex.com/gsa/2024AM/cfp… Consider submitting to one of the Karst Division of GSA Session @gsa_karst @geosociety #caves #karst #cavescience #science

T100. Karst Hydrology and Hydrogeology Aspects of fluid-rock interactions within karst landscapes, including geologic, hydrogeologic, and hydrologic investigations. Topics: dye tracing and aquifer processes to surface-subsurface hydrologic interactions and quantitative models

T99. Karst Hazards and Monitoring Hazards (e.g., sinkholes, pollution, Rn, development) and monitoring approaches in karst landscapes, including technical applications (e.g., LiDAR, 3D scanning, geodatabases) and management implications (education, policy, regulation).

T98. Karst Ecosystems and Biogeochemistry This session is for studies of cave and karst ecosystems, including the identification, quantification, and/or discussion of biota, flora, microbial, and related biogeochemical processes associated with cave and karst features.
