What's the latest approaches to avoiding biological fouling on
instruments deployed in natural waters for long time periods?  I'd
like to avoid leaching out tributyl tin or other overly toxic
approaches.

Hello,
my posting is a request for help to the readers of this newsgroup:
I'm going to build a software library which is intended for being used
in hydrological and geo-physical modelling and simulation. It should
cover algorithms and data structures appropriated for phenomena like
evapotranspiration, interception, run-off etc.
Are you aware of any related work which tries to cover not only a single
model developed for a particular problem but provides a set of such
models, modules and/or algorithms?
I would appriciate it very much if you would send me some addresses to
contact or any bibliographic notes.

FUNDING FOR GRADUATE STUDIES IN GEOSCIENCES
http://www.uh.edu/academics/nsm/geosc/geosciences.html
The University of Houston
Houston, Texas  77204
Graduate Fellowships  - Graduate fellowships provided by corporate
sponsors are available to well qualified graduate students at both the
masters
and doctoral levels. Fellowships are awarded in a range of disciplinary
areas within geology or geophysics. The amount, eligibility conditions
and
benefits associated with each Fellowship vary.  Applicants for
Fellowships must be full time graduate students who are either US
citizens or
permanent residents.
Graduate Internships  - Graduate Internships are available to well
qualified graduate students at both the masters and doctoral levels.
Houston is home to the largest concentration of geoscientists in the
world and provides unique opportunities for interaction between
university
researchers and energy company scientists. Internships involve students
working with departmental faculty and a corporate sponsor on a
collaborative research project. Students carry out their research both
on campus and in the sponsor's laboratories to ensure access to a
comprehensive set of analytical and computational facilities. A range of
projects are currently available in both geology and geophysics.
Students use internships to develop a fuller understanding of the range
of
activities carried out by the corporate sponsor. The amount, eligibility
conditions and benefits associated with each internship vary.
Applicants for Internships must be full time graduate students who are
either US citizens or permanent residents.
Teaching Assistantships - the Department of Geosciences also provides
support to well qualified, full time graduate students in the form of
teaching assistantships. Students devote up to 20 hours per week in
instructional and related duties. Assistantships provide valuable
teaching
experience for those individuals who are considering an academic career.
They also provide all students with opportunities to acquire and improve
their communication skills. All full time graduate students are eligible
to
apply for Teaching Assistantships.
Please contact Dr. Stuart A. Hall for more information - sahgeo@uh.edu

Welcome to attend the symposium on Three Gorges Landslide in July, 1997.
You may meet lots of people who interested in Three Gorges.
Attached please find the information of the symposium.

                         Welcome to attend the 
        International Field Workshop on Yangtze Gorges Landslide 
    North-East Asia Symposium and Field Workshop on Landslide and Debris Flow (NEASFLD'97) will be held along the Yangtze River, China, in Yichang (18 July), Chongqing (23 July) and Ala-mata (27 July). The main theme is landslides and debris flows in Three Gorges (Sanxia), Yangtze River. 
    Bacause the Yangtze River will be dammed by Sanxia Dam (will be one of the highst dam in the world) in the end of 1997, this trip is also the last opportunity to visit the Yangtze Gorges.
    Attached please find the Bulletin 1 of NEASFLD'97. You can enjoy the full bulletin and several photos of Three Gorges, landslide and debris flow in China at:
http://www.tuat.ac.jp/~sabo/sanxia
    You will receive the paper copy of Bulletin 1 and more information of NEASFLD'97 if you e-mail or mail the APPLICATION FORM to:
