Dear Merylyn
Thanks for getting back to me. The issue that we are looking into is doing
computer simulations for what sea level rise will mean for many of the
lower lying SIDS. We did one for Male' in Maldives, but they had good
charts etc and some gifted computer boffins. All that it requires is a
topographical map of the selected islands, and then juxtaposing this to
IPCC findings. For Male' it was a significant loss of land by 2030 and
disappearance in 2100.
The question is - is this something that you or colleagues could assist us
with? For some islands like Tuvalu the charts are all with the Admiralty or
FCO and we do not have an easy "in" with them.
Looking forward to hearing your views on this.
Regards
Espen

Hi Andrew et al.

Can you in anyway help do a quick and dirty assessment for Espen.

I have checked and he still wants the assistance- the email got stuck and lost in my in box whilst I thought what to do.



Dear Merylyn
(No its not too late. Please let me know what you hear from Tyndall.
Regards
Espen)

Espen used to raise hell for the Marshall Islands in the UNFCCC processes. he is now part of the New York UN corps. I know anything you can get together he would value and you'd actually be producing a very useful output!

Plse let me know what you decide to do and what happens.

Merylyn
