About NCKRI Research

NCKRI has a three-part Research Program:

Cave and Karst Studies: Research by students supported by NCKRI's Cave and Karst Studies Program at New Mexico Tech.

Basic Research Program: Research into the principles of how caves, karst, and their components are created, changed, organized, and distributed. It essentially defines how caves and karst work.

Applied Science Program: Research used to solve, manage, or prevent problems associated with caves and karst, and to develop or improve methods for using cave and karst resources.
