   Kate,
   Sounds an interesting option to consider.
   Let's see what Elsevier come back with.  Martin was getting £8,000 p.a. in total.

     IF our joint editorship of GEC goes ahead, I have a suggestion of who we could employ as
     Editorial Assistant. I have a new PhD student called Mike Robbins. He did his MA here
     last year and I supervised his dissertation he shared the dissertation prize with a top
     mark of 80% and wrote it with little support form me. He used to be a science writer for
     one of the CGIAR centres ICRISAT or ICARDA I think he is in mid-late 40s. He writes
     really well and would be more than capable of doing a first sifting and evaluation of
     papers. He is researching soils and carbon sequestration but has good background on
     environment, climate change, agriculture etc. He is funding himself and will be looking
     for consultancy work so it may be attractive to him as it would provide a little bit of
     steady income, have flexible hours and be UEA based.

     Let s keep in him mind let me know if you would like me to sound him out, but otherwise
     I won t mention it yet
