Like many cities throughout the world, parts of the City of Austin are built upon karst, a type of land terrain characterized by the dissolution of rock by water. This creates an unique underground wilderness that is still being explored and studied today. Over the last 3 years, by employing a team of Cave Specialists to restore, study, explore and map Austin's karst resources, the City of Austin Watershed Protection department has been a forerunner amongst municipal governments in the area of karst resource management. Come hear about this exciting work taking place in the tight spaces that are found below Austin.
My hands hurt just looking at that tight knit, but this is gorgeous - well done!
