2011 Call For Papers - Survey and Carto Sessions

Postby HKalnitz » Feb 14, 2011 10:16 pm

Yep Folks, its that time again!! It is the 2011 call for Papers for the NSS Convention

The Survey and Cartography Session serves to share information about all aspects of Cave Survey and Cartography throughout the entire NSS. It serves as a way for you to share that new system, instrument, technique, or trick with other surveyors throughout the Nation. You may not believe it, but those things you have learned are valuable to all others who crawl through caves for data, or sit in front of computers and drafting tables (George!) to bring the maps to life.

So please think about sharing at this years Convention Survey and Cartography Sessions. We expect this to be a big convention and hope to see a lot of papers shared.

Your presentation need only be 20-30 minutes and can be accompanied with any sort of multi-media accompaniment. You do not have to be a professional or submit any more then an abstract. Our sessions are easy going and focused on sharing techniques and info

If you plan to do a presentation, you should submit an abstract of not over 250 words to me, so that I can set up the schedule and make sure your abstract gets into the convention program. Your Abstract should include a summary of conclusions and results, not just a statement of what you will talk about, but make sure you share enough to entice convention goers to attend your presentation!

When you submit your abstract please let me, the session coordinator, know what equipment you will need for your presentation. You can assume the usual 35mm slide projector and overhead projector can be made available, but please consider supplying a digital presentation. Plan to supply your own laptop computer, but one can usually be made available if I am notified well ahead of time. Email submission is strongly encouraged, but I will accept most any legible format.
You can reach me at hkalnitz@fuse.net or
4328 Peppermill ln.
CincinnatI oh 45242
I have not heard yet the cutoff date nor the final format, but don't let this stop you from starting to think about this and putting your program together. I will make sure abstracts are put in the right format and will send them on

And returning this year after a great session last year are the 5 minute topics in survey and cartography. We will reserve the last few minutes of the session for anyone to get up and quickly share topics - no reservations needed! If you have something small by all means plan on sharing.
There will be more info later

Hi - Its me again....

Formal deadline for Abstracts for the Colorado 2011 NSS convention is April 15th.

Learn about a new tool or way to survey? Share it! Got a great new trick on illustrator for mapping? Let us know!

The survey and cartography is a great informal session to share what you have learned about over the past year.

So help out your fellow surveyors - submit an abstract - details in the note above...

One last Bump -

The S&C Session for Colorado 2011 is shaping up, already have quite a few papers being presented, and I am looking forward to attending.

I would love to see more papers - lets make this session really stand out!

Please submit an abstract by April 15. You can present on just about anything - it does not need to be formal.
I will help you write an abstract or whatever help I can provide.
If you want to share it - we most likely would like to hear it!
