1. A number of "mini" fieldcamos are being organized this semester for Year III
   geography students. These include field study of rural poverty in central
   Guandong, analysis of Karst development and volcanic landforms, and the 
   geomorphic hazards associated with the latter, and investigation of the
   reduction of agricultural land for industrial and industrial-related
   purposes in the Pearl River Delta. The camps are additional to regular Hong
   Kong field activities. They further underscore the importance of field study
   in geography programs, continue to add to the strength of our academic
   activities, and indeed distinguish those of the Baptist Geography Department
   from other Hong Kong tertiary institutions.

2. The Department's 1994-95 Annual Field Camp will be based primarily in 
   Upland (Northern) Thailand in the period approximately from March 23rd-
   April 2nd, 1995. It is expected that we will be cooperating again with 
   several Thai Government Ministries and also our University of Chiang Mai,
   Chulalongkhorn University and Royal Society of Thailand colleagues.
