Hello Hugh - AVO has some severe staffing limitations these days. We would try to accommodate a request for a radio interview, but are unable to guarantee one. Thank you, Cheryl -------- Hugh Collins wrote: Hello, My name is Hugh and I am putting together a proposal for the Journey of a Lifetime grant offered by the Royal Geographical Society in England. The grant offers the winner a £5,000 grant towards travel and also a chance to record a radio programme. More information can be found here: www.rgs.org/OurWork/Grants/Expedition+fieldwork+and+independent+travel+grants/Journey+of+a+Lifetime.htm My 'journey of a lifetime' would be to visit the Aleutian islands and particularly to trek among their volcanoes. If I am successful in my application would a representative of the AVO be available for an interview as a piece for the radio documentary? Many thanks, Hugh Collins -- Cheryl Cameron Geologist, Alaska Volcano Observatory Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys voice: 907-451-5012 fax: 907-451-5050
