2007 workshop and fieldtrip in Java
IGCP 490 has chosen to sponsor the participation of some scientists to the
excursion B1 of the INQUA Congress (www.inqua2007.net.au/tours.asp). You do
not need to be taking part to the INQUA Congress to attend this fieldtrip.
This fieldtrip, "Land-ocean and human interaction in the Sunda Strait area:
reef and volcano-tsunami disaster of the 19th century", is taking place in
the Sunda Strait, Indonesia, between 5 and 11 August, starting from
Djakarta. Amongst various high points, the field trip will take us to the
Krakatau.
See www.mun.ca/canqua/igcp490/ for more information on IGCP 490 past
activities and objectives.
The award conditions are to:
- belong to a developing country or be a young scientist (maximum 3 years
after PhD)
- submit a short abstract (200 words) about your research related to IGCP
490 topic.
- contribute to a workshop & business meeting during one evening where your
IGCP 490 research will be presented and contribute by writing a section in
the fieldtrip/business-mtg/workshop report.
The offer is a large financial contribution to the costs of the field trip
(up to 2/3 of the total local costs).
