Summer Course at NIO The four day summer course for the first batch of the students who responded to the newspaper announcement, will start at 10:30 a.m. from 23 April, 2002 at the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), Dona Paula.
The course, which aims to create an awareness about the seas, flora & fauna and sensitive ecosystem such as mangroves, includes lectures, film & slide shows and field trips to a beach and mangrove area. The students will be given an opportunity to work in the laboratory to analyse the samples they have collected during these field trips and prepare their observation reports. It is hoped that such courses will inculcate an appreciation of the interdisciplinary nature of the ocean, says Dr. Ehrlich Desa, Director, NIO. We have much to do in this regard, and even though it is an extra demand on our colleagues' time, we shall be putting an increasing thrust, if for no other reason than to interest bright young students to the excitement of research in the ocean science. The course for the second batch which also has about 50 students will commence from April 30. All the parents of the first batch have been informed about the arrangements, telephonically & by e-mail, says Mr. S.R. Bhat. The encouraging response from over 100 students has highlighted the need for such awareness programmes on a regular basis, he said. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-W-E-B---S-I-T-E-=-=-= To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from GoaNet | http://www.goacom.com/goanet =================================================================== For (un)subscribing or for help, Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont want so many e=mails?
