The First Multidisciplinary Conference
on Sinkholes and the Engineering and Environmental Impacts of Karst
was held in Orlando, Florida, October 15-17, 1984. Subsequently,
a second and third conference was held under the sponsorship of
the Florida Sinkhole Research Institute, a division of the University
of Central Florida in Orlando, in 1987 and 1989. In 1992, Dr. Barry
Beck, the former director of the Florida Sinkhole Research Institute,
jointed the staff of P.E. LaMoreaux and Associates and opened the
company's Oak Ridge, Tennessee office. Beginning with the Fourth
Multidisciplinary Conference in 1993, PE LaMoreaux and Associates
has sponsored the continuation of this important series of conferences.
These conferences were established
to meet a critical need for applied research information on the
very complex hydrogeological environment of karst areas of the world.
