Francis!
That sounds like a project! Ok, I am not going to submit my name
to do it now...but it's something I could see doing (and the joys
of having and supervising graduate students is that much work can
be done by them and/or totally contributed by them :-)..I prefer that
they get credit to start their careers..........
I won't remark about quality of papers as I have been known to
give some questionable ones :-)
A review of activities over "there" and over "here" might be interesting
to think about???
yes..and FRGS in Halifax...only one in Nova Scotia...go figure :-)
makes for an interesting local RGS(IBG) meeting :-) :-)
all the best
