This meeting will be held at Rapid City, South Dakota, June 7-11,
2008.  Karstified rocks present special challenges for both petroleum
production and groundwater hydrology.  This meeting brings together
specialists from these and other fields, to share knowledge about
issues of multiple permeabilities.  The program promotes interchange
of ideas by including talks, posters, discussions, and a full day
field trip to the unique karst of the Black Hills.

Topics to be covered include

Karst origins and geometries
Burial, collapse, and porosity redistribution in paleokarst
Use of modern analogs to understand paleokarst reservoirs
Architectures and connectivity of carbonate petroleum reservoirs

Presentations, posters, and are planned.  Further details will be
available in late July, 2007 at:
