Rupes is the Latin word for cliff . It is used in planetary geology to refer to escarpment s on other planet s, such as Mercury planet Mercury , and natural satellite moons , such as Moon Luna , Earth s natural satellite. How rupes are formed is, as of 2008, a matter of speculation. Compressional strain from the cooling of the crust of terrestrial planets and large scale displacement due to impacts are the two dominant theories ref cite web title APOD 21 January 1996 Mercury s Faults publisher APOD Astronomy Picture of the Day date 1996 01 21 url http www.sai.msu.su apod ap960121.html accessdate 2008 04 16 ref .

The programme brings leading researchers, executives and students to Australia to undertake short or long term study, research and professional development in a broad range of disciplines and enables Australians to do the same abroad. It aims at developing linkages between involved nations. The Endeavour Awards were established as part of the 2003 International Education Package Engaging the World Through Education. Through international, merit based competition, the Endeavour Awards bring leading researchers, professionals and students to Australia. The Australian Scholarships, a 1.4 billion Australian Government initiative, brings under the one umbrella the scholarship programmes managed by DEST and AusAID. Over the five years from July 2006, Australian Scholarships will double the number of Australian Government funded scholarships available in the Asia Pacific region. Under Australian Scholarships, the Endeavour Awards have been greatly expanded to provide approximately 9,000 scholarships over five years, of which nearly half will be for outgoing Australians. The scholarships will be a mix of postgraduate, undergraduate, vocational and technical education courses, and research and professional development awards. They are open to all fields of study.
