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 ourselves writing for an audience we were not sure knew all this. At the end there is a page of bullet points on what needs to be done for the provision of climate scenarios/services in the light of expected advances over the next few years (some by the time of AR5). The bullet points are ordered roughly in time. What needs to be done earliest is first. Cheers Phil At 11:59 26/10/2009, Adger Neil Prof (ENV) wrote: Pete Herewith one page on adaptation.

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.

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.

Meanwhile, I’ve 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.

Are the names below, from the UToronto list known to you and worth approaching as a lined-up EB member?
