     Hi Keith, Phil and Tim,
     Please find attached an outline bid for the NERC Consortium bid we
     discussed at the end of last year.  I must apologise for the delay in
     getting back to you.  Exeter has suddenly gone mad with appointments
     of staff and postgrads.  It's all good fun but it's taken up a lot of
     my time over the past couple of months.
     For a NERC Consortium we need to put in a 2 page document as an
     expression of interest.  If approved we can then go forward for
     submission. The next deadline is 1 July.
     Can you have a look at the attached and let me know what you think?
     Could you let me know what sort of support you'd need if we go
     forward.  We have up to £3.5 million to spend over 5 years. Included
     in the document we have to include a summary of the funding we'd like
     to get from NERC, any other funds we have in support and other
     benefits e.g. training.  For the latter we envisaged approximately 1
     postdoc and 2 PhDs per UK institution.
     I'm currently in Copenhagen for a meeting so my email contact will be
     a little erratic but am back Friday.
     Hope things are going well.
     All the best,
     Chris
