date: Wed Jun 18 12:40:00 2008 from: Keith Briffa subject: Re: quick question-phil to: Gabi Hegerl Gabi some good names , but the timescale is surely unrealistic this time round. I can get his cv but I think peoiple will possibly be irritated if rushed? I will try and get his cv to you asap anyway cheers Keith At 12:31 18/06/2008, you wrote: Hi Keith, timescale is July 1 (I know... need to find out how bad if some letters come late) Francis and I thought we could get letters from Simon Tett, Ben Santer, MIke Wallace, Brian Hoskins (both fellows) Ray Bradley (dont remember if fellow). what do you think? But neither Francis nor I are fellows. I checked with Susan and she is frustrated with her last few tries so is not pushing anybody in the moment. Gabi Keith Briffa wrote: I would have thought that the nomination should best come from someone elswhere and probably best from an American and presumably an existing Fellow. I confess that I do not know who these are but presumably easy to find out. Also , what is the time scale for this? At 10:58 18/06/2008, you wrote: well quiet in comparison to the big battleships that get all the big prizes partly for accomplishment and partly for believing science would collapse without them? thanks so much, Francis only found a 2003 CV on his webpage. I am not sure if people from same place write letters - what do you think? Gabi Keith Briffa wrote: Absolutely great idea - I think he deserves it and would appreciate it. He is not so quiet often also. I am not aware that anyone has tried this before . I can probably get a recent cv if needed Keith At 10:35 18/06/2008, you wrote: Hi Keith, between us: I am thinking of nominating Phil as an AGU fellow since I think in his quiet way he has done huge amounts for climate change research. Do you know if somebody has tried this yet? Do you think its a good idea? do you have an up to date vita if you think it is a good idea? Francis is all for this as well, and Nathan thought it was a good idea (as does Simon think etc). If you think its a good idea good to know soon since time is running out on us Gabi -- Dr Gabriele Hegerl School of GeoSciences The University of Edinburgh Grant Institute, The King's Buildings West Mains Road EDINBURGH EH9 3JW Phone: +44 (0) 131 6519092, FAX: +44 (0) 131 668 3184 Email: Gabi.Hegerl@ed.ac.uk The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336. -- Professor Keith Briffa, Climatic Research Unit University of East Anglia Norwich, NR4 7TJ, U.K. Phone: +44-1603-593909 Fax: +44-1603-507784 [1]http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/people/briffa/ -- Dr Gabriele Hegerl School of GeoSciences The University of Edinburgh Grant Institute, The King's Buildings West Mains Road EDINBURGH EH9 3JW Phone: +44 (0) 131 6519092, FAX: +44 (0) 131 668 3184 Email: Gabi.Hegerl@ed.ac.uk The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336. -- Professor Keith Briffa, Climatic Research Unit University of East Anglia Norwich, NR4 7TJ, U.K. Phone: +44-1603-593909 Fax: +44-1603-507784 [2]http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/people/briffa/ -- Dr Gabriele Hegerl School of GeoSciences The University of Edinburgh Grant Institute, The King's Buildings West Mains Road EDINBURGH EH9 3JW Phone: +44 (0) 131 6519092, FAX: +44 (0) 131 668 3184 Email: Gabi.Hegerl@ed.ac.uk The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336. -- Professor Keith Briffa, Climatic Research Unit University of East Anglia Norwich, NR4 7TJ, U.K. Phone: +44-1603-593909 Fax: +44-1603-507784 [3]http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/people/briffa/
