Tickets are now available for SCCi's 2025 Annual Distinguished Lecturer event featuring Dr. Todd Rasmussen, Professor Emeritus, University of Georgia.
The Distinguished Lecturer event aims to bring the most current research by cave and karst experts to the public and expand common knowledge of the role caves play in our understanding of subsurface hydrology, ecology, and history. SCCi partners with research institutions and scientists at the top of their field to further education about cave conservation topics across disciplines. Topics have included pre-contact Native American art, novel mechanisms of speleogenesis, and global bat conservation efforts. Lectures are suitable for those in academia or enthusiasts curious to learn more.
This year, Dr. Rasmussen will share his decades of research done at Tumbling Rock Cave in Jackson County Alabama. His research has covered fluid flow and contaminant transport through surface and subsurface environments, focusing on the physical, chemical, mathematical, and statistical description and quantification of hydrologic processes. Post lecture, there will be a VIP reception with Dr. Rasmussen. There are discounted tickets available for current students.
Thank you to our presenting sponsor, The National Speleological Society whose support makes this annual event possible. The VIP Reception post lecture will be sponsored by Dogwood City Grotto.
