Our colleague Jacek Szczygieł from the University of Silesia in Katowice (Poland) has received funding for the project “Enhancing Paleoseismological Records through Multi-Methods Cave Deformation Analysis Tested in Diverse Hellenides Tectonic Regimes.” As part of this project, there are two open positions: a 4-year PhD student and a 2-year postdoc. Currently, there is no official application process in the online system, but this will follow, soon. If anyone has any questions, feel free to contact Jacek directly: jacek.szczygiel@us.edu.pl

Springer has recently published the book Dynamic Tectonics and Karst in the series Cave and Karst Systems of the World, edited by our colleagues S. Shanov and K. Kostov. The book focusses on the influence of tectonic processes on the formation of karst and karst caves and one chapter is devoted to karst cave paleoseismology. The authors present studies from the Balkans, Cuba, and France.  more
