John — Thank you for pressing forward on this important issue for the
airmen and their families at Moody AFB as well as for all citizens of
Lowndes County. My colleagues and I are also concerned and hope that we
can eventually obtain the Phase I geotechnical study. Of course, we have
our own research agendas as well as a desire to see our students working
on these problems close to their own university campus. In particular,
one of my undergraduate students just completed his thesis on karst
subsidence beneath a house in Lowndes County. Here is a link to a poster
where he presented those finding to our undergraduate research conference:
