Beck Award Recipients
The conference series now known as the Multidisciplinary Conferences on Sinkholes and the Engineering and Environmental Impacts of Karst, was founded in 1984 by Dr. Barry F. Beck. At that time Barry was the Director of the Florida Sinkhole Research Institute at the University of Central Florida in Orlando.
A memorial page celebrates Barry's life and the legacy he left for those who live and work in karst. It also introduces him to those who never had the pleasure to know him. The Barry F. Beck Sinkhole Conference Student Support Fund has been established in his memory. Click here to learn about Dr. Barry F. Beck.
