Presenters and invited contributors from the 2025 NCKMS must submit all content for the official printed proceedings by Sunday, May 3, 2026. Submissions (and all attachments) must be sent to: proceedings@nckms.org
The official proceedings will be made available to university libraries, research institutes, government agencies, academics, students, and the general public. We will be printing in full color, so feel free to include a reasonable number of images if they compliment your research. For space considerations, our editors reserve the right to omit images if you go overboard!
Official Format
We require that all submissions follow a consistent format for publication. For your convenience, you may download an MS-Word template by clicking HERE.
We very much prefer that you send your submissions in MS-Word (DocX) format, but we will try to accomodate other formats if absolutely necessary. All images and figures should be embedded in your document _and_ attached to your email as individual files. Please see the template example for additional instructions.
A reference PDF example is available HERE.
Your submission deadline is Sunday, May 3, 2026!
Proceedings Publication
Some of you have already ordered printed copies in advance. If you did not select that option when registering for the symposium, we will be taking orders up until Friday, May 29. Order forms will be made available on this page in the next few days. Check back for a link to our order form.
The Cave Research Foundation is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to:
Facilitating research, management and interpretation of caves and karst resources; Forming partnerships to study, protect and preserve cave resources and karst areas; Promoting the long term conservation of caves and karst ecosystems.
The Sagebrush, a very common resident of Great Basin National Park, is well adapted to the area. The Big Sagebrush root system can extend as much as 90 feet in circumference. This adaptation allows the plant to collect as much water as possible during infrequent rains.
