Subject	Re: Article and money
Stepan it is just pressure of work. I am afraid the final report did not go to INTAS . I will do it this week! I still expect we will get the money outstanding - just late . Sorry.

The article is very interesting and, I think, these reconstructions will be used by many researchers of different disciplines. At the end of the last year Janet asked me to send the account of the bank to transfer the rest money of the INTAS project (737 Euros). I have sent you the necessary form to transfer the money for my name, but the Ekaterinburg Branch of Bank for Foreing Trade did not receive the money until now. Do you know the reason? This summer I am very busy. Along with Fritz Schweingruber and his team (four persons)we will visit many sites (using helicopter) on the North of European and Siberian Arctic and Subarctic (from the Lower of Pechora river in the west to the Lover of Khatanga river in the East). We will try to find a new sources of subfossil wood material between the Yamal Peninsula and Taimyr Peninsula, on the one hand, and between the Yamal Peninsula and Kola Peninsula, on the other hand. The second aim is to collect samples from living trees of different ages for estimating biomas changes. After this trip I and my post-graduate student will be working in the Polar Urals (large-scale mapping of forest-tundra ecosystems over the forest-tundra ecotone for three time intervals: the beginning of the XXth century, the 1960ties and the 2000ties. At the end of September I intend to be in Davos.
