PLANNING

Planning was based on providing Mr B. O'Brien with data for his own M.Sc. thesis on Erebus activity, and terminating the program before my compulsory retirement at age 65, so that I could confirm my results from Erebus at another similar volcano elsewhere. I was also concerned that I did not prejudice the programs of my International collaborators unnecessarily in withdrawing my equipment and support.

No planning problems occurred this year, except that Prof Kaminuma was unable to participate, and Brent O'Brien was invited to take his place. Special thanks ars due to the VUW Grants Committee for covering the additional expenditure.

A suggestion concerning Tekapo is that the training course program document is a valuable record of the participants, but omits first names. Even initials are hard to find.
