Snoooooooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeee 
| Quote: | Introduction
The small island of Gran Canaria (1532km2) is one of seven in the Canary Islands located in the Macronesian archipelago to the north-west of Africa (28o N, 16o W) (Pasteur et al., 1988). The Canaries were formed by a mantle hotspot known as the Canary Hotspot that arose under northwest Africa around 60 million years ago and formed the island chain as the lithosphere passed over due to tectonic movement (Holik et al., 1991). The geological age of islands decreases westward throughout the island chain, formation of Gran Canaria was around 14.5 million years ago (mya), La Gomera 11-12 mya, Tenerife 8.5 mya and furthest west El Hierro (1.2mya) (Cantagrel et al., 1984; Ancochea et al., 1990; Guillou et al., 1996), all formed volcanically by the same hotspot. The island of Gran Canaria (along with neighbouring Tenerife which parallels the conditions closely) has very varied local ecology depending on the area of the island inhabited, most strikingly the disparity in ambient/soil humidity between north and south. This is caused by the prevailing trade winds from the north-west which are orographically lifted when they reach the inner islands mountains, which adiabatically cools the air causing water to condense. This effect leads to mesic conditions on the northern side, with much lower ambient temperatures, more |

How bored are you people 
And within-island variation is both a dead research field and was never massive anyway, so hence no research post 2000 
You should see the accompanying lit. review 
Anyway it's just up here so my grandad can download it and proof read. Writing in a deliberaly erudite fashion with tit all sleep mutilates english.

Aye, but not a great deal of them are /that/ pertinent. For instance the block of about 6 papers explaining variation in tenerife/gran can. Always hate having to delve into geological/meteorological papers... blurgh.
If you lot are actually reading the bugger, anyone want to highlight any obvious cock ups they can see? Like i say, no sleep and poncy wording tends to shred the flow of the piece.
Just use word to highlight any dodgy/long/over or under punctuated bits and reattach it up.
That ones actually been looked through by the supervisor (when it was raw draft), the lit. review is going to be painfully bad.
But its got about 40 references for the 1800 words i've written already :S
Oh and regards the harvard system, im using the 'as few bits to go wrong' system of my own design. Unfortunately you have to have all references formated identically, so volume and page is the safe bet. I just loathe book references. Especially since i usually haven't seen them.
Edit: Infact bugger it, here, have the lit. review. That can be a little less specific on wording luckily. But the actual project has to be phrased like the written word, which i struggle to do (i'm a spoken word type eejit)
