Boots on the Ground!


Wow!  We've had overwhelming support from all of you karst lovers out there!  It's been exciting to see everyone contribute to this research.  Thank you so much!

We're in the last stage of our campaign for funding (only 5 days left!) and are keeping our fingers crossed that we reach our goal.  We are almost there!  

Since we've had tremendous support already, we figured that everybody would like to see the product from sponsor contributions made to date.  We've been really busy recently taking advantage of the drought conditions to survey caves associated with the large springs and also installed a couple of new gaging sites with the instruments provided by Western Kentucky University - Crawford Hydrology Laboratory and Solinst.  Hope you enjoy this short video documenting our recent fieldwork.  Thanks SO much to everyone that has contributed to date!!!

About This Project

The Karst Springs Initiative is focused on studying Tennessee springs, their magnitude, and what springs might be the largest in terms of discharge. We are taking a deeper dive into studying relationships between karst spring discharge and their recharge basins. This project is dedicated to quantifying the major resurgences to provide a better understanding of karst hydrology in Tennessee and protect these valuable resources in the future.

Blast off!
