This year’s Multidisciplinary Conference on Sinkholes on the Engineering and Environmental Impacts of Karst (“The Sinkhole Conference”) has received a record number of papers and promises to be an excellent meeting. To add to the fun, a second field trip is being offered on Friday afternoon, 9 October 2015, at the close of the conference. “Karst in our Built Environment” will be a half-day trip focused on the challenges of building in the karst of the Rochester, Minnesota, USA, area where the conference will be located. To register for this trip, read the trip’s description, and for more information about this year’s Sinkhole Conference, visit www.sinkholeconference.com. ਀
