The Hoffman Environmental Research Institute through its Center for Cave and Karst Studies and in cooperation with the Mammoth Cave International Center for Science and Learning and Western Kentucky University, offers a series of week-long field courses focusing on cave and karst science, and caving.
Underground Revolution
The summer cave and karst courses are for those with an academic, professional, or personal interest in all aspects of caves and karst systems.
Past participants have included undergraduate and graduate students, teachers, college professors, cave guides and interpretive staff, cave and karst managers, geologists, hydrologists, and cavers. Individuals desiring an exciting and educational vacation experience can also benefit from participating in a course.
Caves Are Cool
Courses range from one-week intensive courses to three-day short courses. Courses are typically held during the month of June.
