It has to be next week, though. Hakan thank you indeed for this - perhaps you could stress that IPCC said this really important stuff also. >Second, I would like to get involved in an >Advance10k-type project again, but just the >northern regions!

Malcolm has some work continuing I believe - but small scale and I do not know about his future east Siberian publication plans. He certainly has data that go back further than the series he published in the Holocene. We will have to publish some of these soon in the context of that Royal Society paper. I have agreed to publish the Swedish data and some Russian data (with your ok I believe) by the end of this year. Of course the work for the large Russian review (standardisation and calibration effects ) is done and waiting me writing it up! >and why is there no similar multi-millennial >records in northern Alaska and Arctic Canada? They do not seem to focus on sub-fossil sources in lakes/bogs. >many questions, and I do not expect you to >answer all this :) but I'd like to get together and talk soon. We do need to talk because we also need to revisit the Tornetrask divergence ides - what do you think of the section on this in the paper we referred to in the letter? very best wishes - don't forget to do the letter!!! cheers Keith >Cheers, >Håkan > > > >Keith Briffa skrev: >>Dear Hakan >>this is a request from us in the hope of >>getting your support and collaboration for a >>project we are submitting to the UK NERC , >>concerned with the "divergence" issue.
