will again be helping to organize the
Third
Biennial Fraser Island Conference
on

at the
University
of the Sunshine Coast
Sippy Downs.
SHIFTING SANDS —
The dynamics of
the Great Sandy Region
Details of the
evolving conference program will be posted on the FIDO web site: http://www.fido.org.au
CALL
FOR ABSTRACTS
The Conference organizers are seeking
abstracts of potential papers which are relevant to gaining a better understanding
of the dynamics of the Great Sandy Region which may cover topics ranging from
demographics and social issues to marine and terrestrial biology, ecology,
climatology or geomorphology.
Abstracts or other expressions of interest can be emailed to shiftingsands@fido.org.au
It is intended to develop a compendium of
papers to be presented at the Conference and later published in book form. Authors will be given 8 weeks from the time
of the acceptance of their paper, based on the abstract, to submit their paper
for inclusion in the compendium.
Authors will have a month after the conference to edit their papers
before they are included in the proposed book.
