Karst geomorphologic symbols

[praezis@geo.unibe.ch]

Hi all

After having successfully completed the standardizing of the subterranean cave
symbols, the UISIC Topography and mapping Group is currently working on another
task: a standardization of the geomorphologic surface symbols used on karst
terrains. 
After inquiries on the symbols already in use and after collecting of various
symbol lists, a set of symbols that seemed most appropriate was put together and
presented as well as to the UIS as to the IGU. The feedback, however, was
unsatisfactory, so we felt that a roundtable discussing the proposed symbols and
the future directions would be most satisfactory. 
The goal is therefore to discuss the proposed symbols, get an agreed,
comprehensive symbol list, and have clear aims for the year to come. Everyone
interested or working in geomorphological mapping of karst terranes is invited
to attend. The roundtable will be hosted by the Karst Conference at Bowling
Green, KY, USA (http://karst.wku.edu/2003/)

The proposed list can be found at:

Suggestions can be sent directly to me.

Many greetings

Praezis
Chairman, UISIC Topography and Mapping Group
