A two-day, post-conference field trip has been planned jointly
with IGCP-475 (DeltaMAP) and APN MegaDelta projects: Take a long-tail boat tour
to view coastal erosion in the Chao Phraya River delta, including wonderful
outcrops in an open pit (20–30 m below the present sea level!) showing
the whole Holocene deltaic sequence. The tour will also include a visit to an
oyster pagoda temple, and a one-night stay in the old capital of Thailand, Ayutthaya.
The deadline for receipt of your application for the field trip is November
1, 2003. As the number of field trip participants is limited to 40, except for
participants in IGCP-475 and MegaDelta meeting, acceptance will be in the order
of arrival of the completed applications.
Detailed information on the field trip will be given in the third circular,
and a Field Trip Guide will be available at the conference.
