   Hi Tim / Phil / Clare

   hope all's well.

   At some point soon I must get in touch re the masters for next year - hopefully we can
   coordinate again....feedback from our students has been good so far - I hope yours have
   found the DEV unit interesting.

   Main point for this email is to let you know, in case you don't already, that there is to
   be a large Defra call for a climate impact/risk assessment for the UK in 1-2 months -
   something like 1-2 million pounds. Bob Watson keeps talking about the call at Tyndall
   meetings - he thinks this would be a key bid for UEA (Tyndall/CRU/whatever) to be involved
   in - I think the call may be very relevant to you/CRU in general, possibly more than the
   expertise now left in Tyndall - or certainly complimentary expertise.

   Anyway I think it's worth chatting with Bob about it - he and Kevin Anderson are going to
   try to take some ideas forward over the next few weeks in advance of the call. Bob is going
   to lead a Tyndall brown bag lunch about the call soon, I think on the 1st or 8th May.

   Finally - I'm going to Beijing for the British Council Turner exhibition....so Phil I might
   want to pick your brains about historical climatology in a few days....I'll give you a
   call.

   All the best, Declan.
