There was a UEA/Tyndall bid led by Atkins - which CRU decided to drop out of in the end because the consortium was getting too large given the amount of money/time available. I can't recall who won the scoping study tender in the end... >>> Best wishes, Clare >>> At 09:49 21/04/2009, Conway Declan Dr \(DEV\) wrote: >>>> Hi Tim / Phil / Clare >>>> hope all's well. >>>> At some point soon I must get in touch re the masters for next year - hopefully we can coordinate again....feedback from our students has been good so far - I hope yours have found the DEV unit interesting. >>>> Main point for this email is to let you know, in case you don't already, that there is to be a large Defra call for a climate impact/risk assessment for the UK in 1-2 months - something like 1-2 million pounds. Bob Watson keeps talking about the call at Tyndall meetings - he thinks this would be a key bid for UEA (Tyndall/CRU/whatever) to be involved in - I think the call may be very relevant to you/CRU in general, possibly more than the expertise now left in Tyndall - or certainly complimentary expertise. >>>> Anyway I think it's worth chatting with Bob about it - he and Kevin Anderson are going to try to take some ideas forward over the next few weeks in advance of the call. Bob is going to lead a Tyndall brown bag lunch about the call soon, I think on the 1st or 8th May. >>>> Finally - I'm going to Beijing for the British Council Turner exhibition....so Phil I might want to pick your brains about historical climatology in a few days....I'll give you a call. >>>> All the best, Declan. >>>> >>> Dr Clare Goodess >>> Climatic Research Unit >>> School of Environmental Sciences >>> University of East Anglia >>> Norwich >>> NR4 7TJ >>> UK >>> Tel: +44 -1603 592875 >>> Fax: +44 -1603 507784 >>> Web: http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/ >>> http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/~clareg/clare.htm >> Dr Clare Goodess >> Climatic Research Unit >> School of Environmental Sciences >> University of East Anglia >> Norwich >> NR4 7TJ >> UK >> >> Tel: +44 -1603 592875 >> Fax: +44 -1603 507784 >> Web: http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/ >> http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/~clareg/clare.htm > Dr Clare Goodess > Climatic Research Unit > School of Environmental Sciences > University of East Anglia > Norwich > NR4 7TJ > UK > > Tel: +44 -1603 592875 > Fax: +44 -1603 507784 > Web: http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/ > http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/~clareg/clare.htm > Dr Timothy J Osborn, Academic Fellow Climatic Research Unit School of Environmental Sciences University of East Anglia Norwich NR4 7TJ, UK e-mail: t.osborn@uea.ac.uk phone: +44 1603 592089 fax: +44 1603 507784 web: http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/~timo/ sunclock: http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/~timo/sunclock.htm
