Editors: Jose A. Marengo, Kristen Averyt, Bruce Hewitson, Neil Leary, Richard Moss


CR SPECIAL 20 contains selected papers from a meeting of the IPCC Task Group on Data and Scenario Support for Impact and Climate Analysis (TGICA), held in 2007 to catalyze interdisciplinary research on climate change, impacts, adaptation, vulnerability and mitigation. The purpose of the Regional Meeting was to prepare a more holistic approach in the next IPCC assessment.

 

We are pleased to make the online version of this CR SPECIAL available with Open Access.
