Spring 2016 MSS Meeting

The Spring 2016 MSS meeting was held at the Powder Mill Research Center at Owl's Bend in the Ozark National Scenice Riverways.  

Over the weekend we had survey crews doing original exploration, a cave biologist documenting Ozark cave life, an archaeologist exploring potential cultural sites, cave conservationists evaluating graffiti, checking cave gates and documenting cave life along the way and multiple individuals dedicating considerable time to input mass amounts of data into the database. 

Below are a few images from one of the survey trips.
