Mike,
Tim Osborn is resubmitting a NERC proposal to work on
paleo data/reconstructions. NERC is the UK NSF. He would
like to put your name down as a collaborator, to work on
the project for 0.5hrs per week. 0.5 is the minimum value
we can put down. All you would have to do though is one of the
following :
- run your reconstruction method through some data we give you
- give us your program and we run it here
- come to some agreement about your basic data used in the
Nature paper
One of the first two is OK, but the latter in the longer-term
would be preferable. We can live without the latter, though.
The main benefit from our point of view is joint work,
so you would be a co-author on at least one paper resulting
from the work. You will also get to see others for comments
etc.
We are reasonably confident of success as we've been asked to
resubmit the proposal from a year ago. We need an answer,
hopefully positive, in the next couple of days.
Cheers
Phil
