ICS 2009

In the spirit of supporting research excellence and forging new and exciting relationships, the USF Karst Research Group has just pledged to become official sponsors of the International Congress of Speleology in Kerrville, Texas in July of 2009. The International Congress occurs once every 4 years and draws an incredible worldwide array of speleologists.  

The Karst Research Group is currently raising funds to cover the $1500 pledge we have made and would greatly appreciate any support you may provide in this effort. T-shirts bearing a cool caving graphic and the Karst Research Group emblem will be available for $15 (see below) and may be purchased via an ORDER FORM found HERE or via mail-order (see order form). Direct donations may also be sent to this address or made online HERE. Checks may be made out to the Karst Research Group.

We are proud and excited to play such a prominent role in ICS 2009, and are looking forward to the opportunity to give back to the community that has championed our research endeavors.  Thank you in advance for your support!

**T-Shirt colors are Blue or Brown ONLY!**
