This year The University of Queensland, Australia is offering the Great
Barrier Reef Study Program for international and domestic students from 14
June - 13 August 2004.

The Great Barrier Reef Study Program provides students with an opportunity
for the ultimate marine education experience through a unique program
comprised of six short course options undertaken in Queensland's spectacular
marine environments, at world class research stations and on board a tall
ship. 

Three courses are taught at Heron Island Research Station on a coral cay,
two at Moreton Bay Research Station on North Stradbroke Island and one
course on board a tall ship in the Great Barrier Reef. The courses are short
intensive courses during which students will be immersed in the marine
environment. They will have daily lectures, field practical and laboratory
sessions so that they become familiar with a range of marine organisms and
processes and acquire first hand research skills through conducting short
group research projects.

The following courses are offered for 2004:
Coastal Zone Management
Marine Microscopy and Microanalysis
Biology and Oceanography of the Great Barrier Reef
Marine Neurobiology
Tropical Marine Invertebrates
Coral Reef Ecosystems
