Immediate report of Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition 1988-89: VUWAE 33

Management of Science in the Ross Dependency

Management of Science in the Ross Dependency

Problems of International cooperation surfaced this season when an application to RDRC for NIPR participation in IMEEMS went astray in the mail. An attempt to have the application approved in reduced form at a later date was unsuccessful, and it was fortuitous that one of the approved VUWAE members resigned to emigrate, and enabled Prof K. Kaminuma to be approved as his replacement, and invited to Scott Base by Hugh Logan. Official invitations are a special feature of Japanese society.

I thank everyone concerned for this solution, which also satisfied DPP, and put us on a friendly footing once more.
