date: Thu Jul 5 22:04:58 2001 from: Mike Hulme subject: Fwd: fast track impact assessment to: arnell,cannell Nigel and Melvin, As fellow Tyndall people at the meeting Martin refers to, is there anything you can/should add to Martin's analysis about the way forward? Before talking with Martin I would like other views. My various discussions with David Warrilow would not necessarily have led me to the same conclusion. I will be seeing David next week and will ask.

What we propose to do is to bid to DEFRA as the fast track group, but also make a research proposal to Tyndall in Round 2 for funding that makes links to Tyndall's developing integrated assessment model. This should strenthen both Tyndall's and DEFRA's products. We have suggested to David Warrilow that this work should not be considered until the current phase is complete (c. April 2002).

I think it is important that if DEFRA tender for further work that Tyndall Centre provides the umbrella under which we bid - we formally have Arnell, Cannell, Parry and informally LSHTM. I am also exploring ways of bringing Nicholls and Martens into the Centre framework. DEFRA are looking for ways of working more closely with Tyndall and this is one route. I have a feeling however that DEFRA may want something rather rough and ready compared to HJS's long-term view of tighter model integration. Still, it may be a stepping stone. I would like to talk about this before the 3rd. My concept document from last year is attached.
