9ICRS scientific field trips

[Mark and Arnaz Erdmann]

Dear Colleagues,

A surge of bookings before the July 30th deadline has allowed most of the 
9ICRS scientific fieldtrips to meet or exceed their respective minimum 
booking requirements.  Now that this critical date has passed and the 
fieldtrips will move
forward, bookings for 9ICRS Scientific Fieldtrips will still be accepted 
and spaces will be granted in priority sequence to those participants who 
make payment in full.  Interested participants should read details of these 
trips on the 9ICRS website <http://www.nova.edu/ocean/9icrs>, or can direct 
their enquiries to Mr. Pat O'Connell at Asia Transpacific Journeys 
(pat at southeastasia.com). Due to the very limited number of spaces available 
on these fieldtrips, please indicate first and second choice trips on the 
Scientific Field Trip Order Form available on the website.  A brief summary 
of the trip itineraries is offered below:
