Management of Science in the Ross Dependency

An original intention of this year's programme was to have a visiting foreign scientist (Dr M.A. Menzies of the University of London) collaborate on the field aspect of the programme. Much of the radiogenic isotope work in the WAVE programme has been carried out in his laboratories at Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, University of London and it was fitting that we extend this to the field aspect. Unfortunately, due to other committments, Dr Menzies was forced to withdraw, but is still involved as a collaborating scientist.

Concerning Scott Base, Field equipment and logistics we have no complaints, in fact, to the contrary, I found the Base staff entirely accommodating and helpful during my preparations for the field and on return from the field.
