? Paul Edwards studies the history, politics, and cultural aspects of information infrastructures, with a special focus on global climate science. Edwards is an associate professor in the School of Information. His forthcoming book, A Vast Machine: Computer Models, Climate Data, and the Politics of Global Warming (MIT Press), surveys the history of knowledge about the global climate from the 19th century to the present. Edwards, who will be attending COP15, can discuss how scientists know what they know about climate change. He can be reached at pne@umich.edu.

At least eight U-M researchers including Pollack contributed to the set of climate change reports issued by the UN-sponsored panel that shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with former Vice President Al Gore.
