ONE TREE ISLAND RESEARCH STATION
G & J BEIRNE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR DOCTORAL RESEARCH

The University of Sydney is pleased to announce new scholarships for 
outstanding PhD students undertaking coral reef research at One Tree 
Island Research Station on the Great Barrier Reef.  In 2007 two 
scholarships will be offered due the generous support of G and J 
Beirne. 

The scholarships will support field-intensive coral reef research at 
One Tree Reef for up to three years.  PhD students from any 
university can apply.  The maximum value of each award is $15,000. 
Award funds, $5,000 per annum, will be used to support expenses 
associated with travel (up to $2,000 per annum) and research at One 
Tree Island, including assistant costs.

One Tree Reef has been a Scientific Research Zone since 1981 and 
long-term studies have been conducted for decades at sites free of 
human disturbance.  One Tree lagoon is completely surrounded by rim 
of reef and ponds each low tide affording great protection to 
facilitate research progress.  One Tree Island is important on the 
land as a major sanctuary for sea birds and in the marine realm as a 
pristine coral reef.  Island based studies and marine research are 
both encouraged for this award.

Information on research and accommodation facilities at One Tree 
Island Research Station and logistics of travel to the station are 
provided on the One Tree Island web site:
