Thanks for the paper--I'm now in Geilo (half way between Oslo & Bergen) for 
another mtg on the mass balance of Arctic glaciers...as for your talk.... 
you can't cover all that ground in 20 minutes, so I will help you out!  I'm 
still fiddling with what to say...who knows, by next week there may even 
have been a Medieval Warm Period!

Given the prices of booze here, I can wipe out my S. African debt in a 
couple of beers....
Cheers
Ray
