Highland 2015 - glacial geomorphologist required
A serious request - I am looking for help (Volunteer?)to identify a possible site to extract 400 tons of rocks and gravel to be used on infrastructure improvements for next year's event. The landowner has mineral rights and has given permission for us to open up a quarry. The area is embargoed so a non-disclosure would have to be signed. I am going on site next week as the proposed works will start on 6 September this year (Royal Engineer assistance).

Big project, big aspirations even if it leaves a big hole (10 x 10 x 2m) in the ground

I did mention this to my personal glacial geomorphologist (yes I do have one) but he said it sounded like too big a job for him - he did suggest someone else. What's in it for the successful candidate?

Travel expenses and a share of the glory. Trying to keep to budget but small chance of a fee if we get the funding I seek.

Thanks for assistance - have a possible offer through Aberdeen (via Glasgow Uni) as well as some sound advice from an engineering geologist in the deep south.
