0309596HessThe Interdisciplinary Conference on Epikarst to be held in early October,2003 in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, will sponsored by the Karst WatersInstitute. Epikarst is the boundary between soil and rock in karst,honeycombed with small fractures and solution pockets that may or may not befilled with water. The secondary porosity of this zone and its complex rolein contaminant transport, especially of NAPL's have increased interest inepikarst. While karst scientists from different disciplines recognize itsimportance, our ignorance of the epikarst is nearly complete! We will bringtogether karst scientists and scientists from other disciplines whoseparticipation may shed light on this enigmatic zone. There will be arelatively small number of formal presentations, followed by a lengthydiscussion. The discussion will be transcribed and become part of theconference proceedings. Topics include defining epikarst, hydrology andcontaminant transport, economic impacts, soils, fauna, and ecology ofepikarst.

2003年10月初在西弗吉尼亚州的Shepherdstown举行的表层岩溶跨学科会议将由岩溶水研究所主办。 表层岩溶是岩溶中土壤和岩石之间的边界，具有蜂窝状的小裂缝和可能充满水的溶液袋。 该带的次生孔隙及其在污染物运移中的复杂作用，特别是NAPL的次生孔隙，增加了人们对表层岩溶的兴趣。 虽然来自不同学科的岩溶科学家认识到它的重要性，但我们对表层岩溶的无知几乎是完全的！ 我们将把喀斯特科学家和其他学科的科学家聚集在一起，他们的分离可能会揭示这个神秘的区域。 将有相对较少的正式报告，然后是一个简短的讨论。 讨论将被转录并成为会议程序的一部分。 主题包括表层岩溶的定义、水文学和污染物的迁移、经济影响、土壤、动物和表层岩溶生态。
