Dear Sheila
I am in Burma so excuse scrappy reply. Neil Chapman and i have been working on a document loosely entitled 'who's' geology is it anyway?' Which is really a plea fir a strategic plan fir the use of the subsurface in the context if energy/radwaste/sequestration. Is that the sort of thing you had in mind?
Regards
Peter
