Global leader in cave and karst research and conservation set to keynote BSU Day 2022
We are excited to announce that Dr. George Veni, Executive Director of the National Cave and Karst Research Institute at Carlsbad, New Mexico and President of the International Union of Speleology will deliver the opening keynote address at this year’s Barton Springs University Day, set for September 20th at Barton Springs. While Dr. Veni’s work extends to cave and karst regions across the nation, much of his early career focused on research on how the Edwards Aquifer works and advising policy makers on how to protect the Aquifer, its many caves, and its Great Springs. |
