    Dear All,
        Here is some text on Climate Science. There is some introduction to the acronyms as
   well as the long history of CRU involvement. Some of this won't be necessary, but Clare and
   I found oursleves writing foir
       At the end there is a page on what needs to be done for the provision of climate
   scenarios/services in the light of expected advances over the next few years.
    Cheers
    Phil

     Dear All

     Please find attached some draft text on research themes 3 & 4 (international policy and
     low carbon development).

     Neil/Roger- can you draft something similar on adaptation?

     Phil- can you draft something similar on climate science?

     Kevin- if you have anything to add on the low carbon development, let me know.

     Since I will have irregular access to e-mail over the next week please send your
     contributions to Katherine and Adrian at a minimum to ensure they can pull together all
     the UEA inputs.

     Thanks and best wishes

      Peter et al,
         Below I've given you a list of possible climate scientists to sit on the advisory
     board. With the UK ones, it is a bit of a guess who might be involved in other bids.
     I've omitted anyone at the Met Office Hadley Centre and also at the Grantham Institute
     at Imperial.
        Before this list, Peter asked if I could think of a figurehead for the Chair of this
     Board? I emailed my ex-colleague Jean Palutikof.  Here is what she said.
      Hi Phil
     Hmmm...how about Bob Watson, since he's on the doorstep.
     Apart from him, I'd mention Saleemul Huq. Works for IIED, but about to return to head an
     institute in Bangladesh (butI'm sure he'll keep strong links in UK).  Definitely a DfID
     darling.
     Depends just how much of a figurehead you want them to be. If totally, then maybe Joe
     Alcamo, now UNEP Chief Scientist, based in Nairobi. Very good - was a water systems
     modeller at U. Kassel. He's American - maybe has a German wife?
     Or Diana Liverman? On leave from Oxford to head the US NAS panel on adaptation.
     All the best
     Jean
      Now for the Climate Scientists
      Dr. Karl Taylor (PCMDI, LLNL, Livermore, Ca, USA)  - Karl is at the Program for Climate
     Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison, where all the climate model simulations for the
     future under something called CMIP5 will be housed.
      Dr Susan Solomon, NOAA, Boulder, Co, USA - Susan led the WG1 report for AR4 of IPCC
     (2007)
      Prof Dr Thomas Stocker, University of Bern, Switzerland - Thomas is leading WG1 for AR5
     of IPCC (2013)
      Prof Bruce Hewitson, University of Cape Town, South Africa
      Dr Jens Christenson, Danish Met Institute, Copenhagen, Denmark  - Bruce and Jens led
     the Regional Modelling Chapter in AR4
      Dr Linda Mearns, NCAR, Boulder, Co, USA
      Dr Tim Carter, Finnish Environment Centre, SYKE, Helsinki, Finland  - Linda and Tim are
     well known climate impact scientists
      Prof Chris Kilsby, University of Newcastle, UK - works on impacts, especially in the
     water sector, so floods, droughts and water resources. Done consultancy work in the West
     Bank
      Prof Rob Wilby, University of Loughborough, UK - similar to Chris and has done
     consultancy work in Morocco and Yemen.
      Cheers
      Phil

     Thank you all for these comments. As you see, I have incorporated them into a document
     which Elizabeth will work on next week (when Im absent on vacation) as part of the CABI
     contribution which is to say the version you see here probably will not be the version
     you see sent from her next week (not least because of its length). However, I am still
     missing names on the science: Kevin. My apologies if youve sent these already but could
     you please forward any proposed names to Elizabeth Dodsworth?

     Thanks.

     In terms of names who would be appropriate on adaptation etc (I think a few UEA names
     would be good to include):

     Barry Smit University Guelph
     Sam Fankhauser (LSE and UK Climate Change Committee)
     Richard Klein (SEI)
     Ian Burton (Environment Canada)
     Ian Noble World Bank
     Neil Leary (Dickinson College and former START and AIACC project)
     Coleen Vogel (Univ Wits)
     Tony Nyong (African Development Bank)
     Victor Cruz (University Philippines)
     Bruce Capmbell Climate Change Challenge CGIAR etc maybe in another category
     Daniel Murdiyarso CIFOR Indonesia
     Tao Wang now with WWF China

     Hope these help stuimulate thoughts

     Dear Phil

     Thanks for this. I am copying to other colleagues at UEA that are part of the bid to
     suggest names to you (which I will also do of course). One way would be to aim for a mix
     of specialists across each of the themes that the 'Climate Exchange' (CCDKN) will focus
     on (i) climate science (of particular importance for developing countries) (ii) low
     carbon development (iii) adaptation and (iv) international policy for development.

     As I mentioned at the meeting in London, one way of ensuring synergy across the research
     and this annual review will be to summarise latest research in these areas, rather than
     duplicate what the IPCC and other do.

     Assuming you agree with this, can I invite colleagues to submit a few names under these
     headings? Kevin on the science, Neil and Kate on adaptation. I'll send some on low
     carbon development and international policy.

     Best wishes

     Peter

     Im tasked with considering how we manage the outputs of the Annual Review and will be
     recommending that a small external Editorial Board is responsible for QA and
     identification of authors to be commissioned to write reviews of key papers/findings
     etc. The EB will have to be a mix of eminent research, social and policy experts and can
     of course, at least in part, be drawn from some of the consortium (especially UEA)
     staff. Meanwhile, Ive been Googling for resources that rank scientists in terms of their
     climate science citations and/or absolute outputs as potential candidates to approach
     for an EB. The site Ive come across at [16]UToronto may not be valid, so are there sites
     doing this you can also recommend?

     Are the names below, from the UToronto list known to you and worth approaching as a
     lined-up EB member? Ive taken an arbitrary selection of names from key institutes
     (excluding the rival Hadley Centre) and included names lower down the rankings who could
     be put forward as representing some Southern science)

     Ranking: 1         Jean Jouzel, CNRS France         Ice core data
