PG Workshop – GEOLOGY OF CAVES AND KARST

GEOLOGY OF CAVES AND KARST

Instructor: Steve Stokowski is a past VP of the Atlanta Geological Society and is active in many professional organizations.  He holds a B.S. in Geology from George Washington University and a M.S. in Geology from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology.  He is a Fellow of the National Speleological Society, taught Speleology for the Smithsonian Associates, and started the long-running NSS Short Course “Speleology for Cavers.”  Come learn how limestone bedding types and rock textures, folding, and faulting affect the location and size of caves and karst features. Learn how caves form in the deep subsurface and along river terraces. Bring home with you the geologic reason of parallel passages, the hydraulic reason for elliptical passage cross-sections, and the meaning to speleologists of Bogli’s mixing corrosion.
