Karst Waters Institute
A US non-profit research institute whose mission is to improve the fundamental understanding of karst water systems through small interdisciplinary conferences, publications, awards and public education.
The Karst Waters Institute describes itself as a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose mission is to improve understanding of karst water systems among professionals and the public. It is run by a board of directors, has no membership, and works by initiating and coordinating research, sponsoring conferences and workshops and publishing scientific works; it does not give grants directly to individual researchers [1].
Its stated goals are to hold small conferences that advance karst science, to recognise outstanding research through the KWI Karst Award and a book series, to support graduate students through the Wilson scholarship, and to provide public educational material about karst, caves, sinkholes and karst groundwater. In 2026 it ran a webinar series on topics including subterranean biodiversity and groundwater storage in karst [1][2]. KWI is a useful entry point for divers who want the scientific literature behind the caves they visit rather than a diving organisation.
