The National Cave & Karst Management Symposium is held every 2 years. The next symposium is set for October 6-10, 2025 in Ely, Nevada – the heart of the Great Basin
Hidden Waters. Hidden Life.
Cave and karst resource management spans a wide array of scientific and recreational disciplines. In the arid west, management of these fragile ecosystems seems forever locked in the delicate interplay between surface geology and the precious but dwindling resource of groundwater.
Since 1975, the National Cave & Karst Management Symposium has been the preeminent forum for promoting, advancing and sharing concepts in effective management of cave and karst resources.
The Great Basin of the American West is centered mostly in Nevada. It is the largest endorheic watershed in North America. Water that enters this basin never flows to an ocean. This rare hydrology has created a unique environment for cave formation in an arid climate. The Symposium incldes field (cave) trips.
