In the UK now, NERC grants are completed with a online box that counts words. No messing with fonts and also you can't submit if you're over the word limit. I think it's better than the months and months I used to spend on trying to format within the strict page limit, margins and font size criteria

I think there isn’t really wide disagreement in the community though, other than the fact that grounding zones are complex and we need more high resolution surveys #fundscience

prompting the observed very rapid recession. Potentially a slightly different process to Christine Batchelor’s process with tidal grounding line squeeze ridges.

The precise location of the grounding line isn’t really that important. The glacier lay on a flat area of bedrock and was likely lightly grounded over a large area (more of a ‘zone’). Thinning of hektoria has been going on for many years and it likely thinned sufficiently to achieve flotation,…

I am set up with two screens at work and at home. Split screen on the PDF allows me to view whatever. Only time I print out is for long train journeys!
