AEIC is initiating a TGP group.  The proposed tasks are: 1)  To understand
the controversy about TGP, 2)  To study the effects of giant dams in the
world, and 3)  To prepare for a team-research back home.  Yegang Wu will
be the coordinator.  Please direct your adivices and suggestions to 
<YWU@JUPITER.ESD.ORNL.GOV>. (From: Wu, Yegang)

Thanks to the hard promotion by Qin Zhengdi, 10 more volunteers from 
Finland have been on board (total volunteers from Finland: 11).  Currently 
there are 99 volunteers on aeicnet.  (From: Guyang Huang)

The Department of Soil Science at the University of Alberta has immediate 
openings for a Post Doc Fellow and a Ph.D. graduate student.  The research 
area is water and solute transport.  The project for the Post Doc is in the 
general aera of organic contaminant transport in soils.  Backgrounds in soil
physics or other related areas (transport in porous media) and some computer
programming is required.  Backgrounds in soil morphology, image analysis,
math and physics are pluses.

Applicants currently reside in Canada (with valid visa of course) will be
given preference.

The 1993 International Symposium on Photoelectronic Detection and Imaging:
Technology and Applications, Beijing (ISPDI'93,Beijing) will be held at the
Friendship Hotel, Beijing on May 17-20, 1993.  The symposium will be 
organized by the Optical Society of China Ordnance Society and Department of
Optical Engineering, Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT).

The scope of ISPDI '93 Beijing covers a range of topics in Photoeclectronic
detection and imaging, featuring the following subject areas:

1. Photoelectronic Imaging: Low light level imaging, thermal imaging, X-Ray
   imaging and electronography; System components, their design and fabrica-
   tion: image intensifiers and converters, camera tubes, photocathodes,
   electron optics, phosphor screen, etc.; System assessment and scientific
   applications;

2. Photoelectronic Detection: Detectors: CCD, thermal detectors, photoncoun-
   ting detectors, infrared detector arrays, etc.; X-Ray detection, high
   speed events detection and photoncounting detection; Related technology 
   and scientific applications;

3. Image Processing: Image restoration and enhancement, phase retrieval, 
   noise suppression; Processing algorithm and softwares, processing
   hardwares;

4. Related technology and scientific applications.

We have several positions open, and will have more in the near future
(because of the current rapid tertiary expansion in Hong Kong).  One
position will be for a geophysicist.

We are particularly interested in experimental people (any area), who have 
a reasonable research record, and can demonstrate interest and/or qualifica-
tions to teach (especially for our advanced project lab).  However, good
theorists should feel discouraged from applying.

The candidate should have a clear idea of what he/she wants to do in the way
of teaching, and research, and spell it out clearly!

Please see Nature, January 30 for a 1/2 - page classified advertisement from
our Science Faculty. Also Physics Today a few months back.

"Official" closing date for the latest round was March 31.  If anyone can 
find anyone who is interested please ask them to FAX me a CV and expression
of interest at (international) 852-559 9152. Or use Email.  I can easily
cope with ASCII, TeX, LaTeX, or PostScript files.  My address: Mike Reid,
Physics, University of Hong Kong mfreid@hkuxa.hku.hk or mfreid@hkucc.bitnet.
