How to become a Karst Commission member:

Everybody is welcome to contribute to the activities of the IAH Karst Commission. After 2-3 years of active participation, it is possible to become a member. Membership is evaluated every 3 years. Extension of membership upon application is possible for active members.

A Short History of the Karst Commission

The Karst Commission was one of the earliest of the I.A.H. Commissions to be established (in the early 1970s) with the impetus coming primarily from Mediterranean countries or from hydrogeologists such as David Burdon. with particular experience in the Mediterranean karst. The Karst Commission was also one of the first to publish for I.A.H. (1984 onwards) and has maintained an excellent publications output ever since.

This author became a member of the Karst Commission in the early 1980s when the Commission held dedicated annual meetings at various glamorous (usually European) karst locales. The presidency of Henri Paloc of B.R.G.M. was particularly memorable for endless vinous Commission lunches under the Mediterranean sun and possibly also productive karstic discussions although I remember little of that...

Phil LaMoreaux (USGS and later P.E. Lamoreaux and Associates) was a leading light in the Commission, initiating the sequence of Annotated karst Bibliography publications. Later the presidency was mysteriously downgraded to Chairman, and Bill Back (USGS) held the position for many years, organising a memorable field trip for the Commission to the Yucatan karst of Mexico. Sadly both Phil and Bill died in 2008. Also prominent in the 1980-90s were Jacques Avias of France, Boris Mijatovic of (then) Yugoslavia, Andre Burger of Neuchâtel University, Switzerland, and Heinz Hötzl, Germany. Throughout its history the Karst Commission has benefited by leadership from Europe and America and by leaders and members who were drawn from Governmental, academic and consultancy backgrounds.
