Call for Earthwatch proposals
Paddy Walker


The Center for Field Research invites proposals for the 1998-1999 field grants funded by its affiliate Earthwatch. Earthwatch is an international, non-profit organisation dedicated to sponsoring field research and promoting public education in the sciences and humanities. Past projects have been successfully fielded in, but are not limited to, the following disciplines: animal behaviour, biodiversity, ecology, ornithology, endangered species, entomology, marine mammalology, ichthyology, herpetology, marine ecology, and resource and wildlife management. Interdisciplinary projects are especially encouraged, as is multinational collaboration. Members of the Shark Specialist Group have successfully used Earthwatch volunteers for assistance with their research projects.
