The scoping study is intended to provide the NERC Theme Leaders with the information they need to put forwards a proposed activity that meets NERC's strategic priorities. Professor Liz Morris has been appointed to undertake the scoping study, which aims to report at the end of February 2009. Your inputs to the study would be welcomed.
