Education and Communication

Sponsored Workshops:

• Significance of Caves in Watershed Management and Protection in Florida -- Workshop Proceedings (Florida Geological Survey Special Publication 51)
• Workshop to develop blueprints for the protection and development of Florida’s springs (Florida Geological Survey Special Publication 53)
• Aquifer Storage and Recovery IV – Science, Technology, Management and Policy (Florida Geological Survey Special Publication 54)
• Solving Water Pollution Problems in the Wakulla Springshed of North Florida: Science and Technology at Work for a Better Florida
• 4th Annual Hydrogeology Consortium Workshop: Solving Water Pollution Problems in the Wakulla Springshed of North Florida

Education products and activities are also routinely developed to promote an understanding of hydrogeological processes and water-resource stewardship: A copy of the Florida's Aquifer Adventure and The Florida's First Magnitude Springsheds poster (see below) can be ordered from the FGS library List of Publications

Periodically, the Section sponsors a Hydrogeology Needs Assessment. We anticipate holding the second assessment in late 2005. A large part of the needs identified from our first assessment have either been completed or are ongoing activities.

• Florida Spring Classification System and Spring Glossary
• Florida’s Sinkholes poster
• Land-use and Springs Protection poster
• Florida Springs Protection Areas poster
• Florida Cave Glossary (in preparation, in association with the NSS-CDS)
