Thank you especially to Miro for tirelessly running Riskman at what appeared to be all times of the day and the night if I understand the time difference between us correctly. That was a mammoth effort thank you, but well worth while I think because the poster does now contain a lot of interesting ideas backed up by hard data, much more than I imagined possible as little as a month ago. I have to confess I am rather looking forward to standing up there with it. It will be a big meeting, at the last count there are due to be 890 odd papers presented. There was a last minute crisis when the proof that our print room produced came out with pink and mauve ice which was highly surreal but which somewhat detracted from your husband's splendid photography Liz. I took it to a commercial Co. in town who added more blue so that it was fine in the end and is now printed and laminated. I feel certain, due to the rash of papers appearing on this subject, that if we want to publish these results we need to do so soon. I am taking a set of recent papers and Amy's thesis with me to read on the 12h flights and any time spare between sessions. I would very much like to have a stab at a very crude first draft before Christmas so that Amy and I can circulate it to you all for comment and amendment/amplification as appropriate. I will let you know if the prides of hungry Marine Biology lions try to tear me to sheds and what their comments are when I get back Many thanks to you all again. Cheers, Mark Attachment Converted: "c:\documents and settings\tim osborn\my documents\eudora\attach\Polar Bear Poster Final.pdf"
