I must apologise for the delay in getting back to you. Exeter has suddenly gone mad with appointments of staff and postgrads. It's all good fun but it's taken up a lot of my time over the past couple of months. For a NERC Consortium we need to put in a 2 page document as an expression of interest. If approved we can then go forward for submission. The next deadline is 1 July. Can you have a look at the attached and let me know what you think? Could you let me know what sort of support you'd need if we go forward. We have up to £3.5 million to spend over 5 years. Included in the document we have to include a summary of the funding we'd like to get from NERC, any other funds we have in support and other benefits e.g. training. For the latter we envisaged approximately 1 postdoc and 2 PhDs per UK institution. I'm currently in Copenhagen for a meeting so my email contact will be a little erratic but am back Friday. Hope things are going well. All the best, Chris **************************************************** Professor Chris Turney FRSA FRGS Author of Ice, Mud and Blood: Lessons from Climates Past Popular science website: [4]www.christurney.com Journal of Quaternary Science Asian and Australasian Regional Editor School of Geography, Archaeology and Earth Resources The University of Exeter Exeter Devon EX4 4RJ UK Times Higher University of the Year 2007-08 Director of Carbonscape, Fixing carbon the way nature intended Home page: [5]www.sogaer.ex.ac.uk/geography/people/staff/c_turney/main.shtml E-mail: c.turney@exeter.ac.uk Office Tel.: +44 (0)1392 263331 Fax.: +44 (0)1392 263342 **************************************************** Slartibartfast: Science has achieved some wonderful things of course, but I'd far rather be happy than right any day.
