8) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The success of the 1990-91 field season is a reflection of the efforts and support of numerous people and organisations to all of whom we are grateful. DSIR Antarctic staff provided excellent support and advice in the planning stages and the efforts of Garth Varcoe in coordinating the Hut and staging equipment at Cape Roberts warrant special mention.

As usual support from Scott Base staff exceed all reasonable expectations and this was particularly true in the stores department. The USGS-DOSLI survey assistance team are thanked for siting two GPS site within easy walking distance of our campsite. These provided much need control for local surveying carried out during the project.

Alex Pyne (Expedition Manager at VUW) provided much logistic and computing advise during the planning phase of the expedition, and Dan Zwartz (VUW) wrote the paleocurrent software.

Funding for the expedition was provided by the New Zealand Vice Chancellors Committee, Victoria University's Internal Grants Committee and the Australian Geographic Society. The Internal Grants Committee (VUW) also provided funding to develop the software package.
