9310892 Edwards A central focus for research about the interactions of science, technology and social institutions concerns the roles of science and social movements in shaping the conceptual construction, public debate, and political resolution of social problems. This Professional Development Fellowship will provide an investigator who specializes in this research area with a year of training and research in atmospheric science, particularly climatology and climate modeling. It is designed to help him answer two questions: how atmospheric scientists are shaping social response and responsiveness to global environmental problems, and how, reciprocally, the political debates around these problems are shaping atmospheric science. The training program includes coursework, tutorial instruction and literature review under the guidance of host scientists. Research plans include attending conferences, undertaking laboratory visits and interviews, observation of the appearances of atmospheric scientists before public agencies and NGOs, and interviews with representatives of these groups. The investigator will also research and analyze three important cases of scientific models influencing global environmental policy debates: (a) the 1972 Limits to Growth study of the Club of Rome, (b) the 1987 Montreal Protocol and its several successor agreements, and (c) the 1992 UNCED Rio global environmental summit. The training and research provide the basis for future comparative studies of other similar social phenomena. Since this is a training grant, publications are not the primary goal. Nonetheless, the investigator plans to complete a number of articles and possibly develop some joint publications with his hosts. ***

9310892爱德华兹（Edwards）是研究科学，技术和社会机构相互作用的研究重点，涉及科学和社会运动在塑造概念建设，公众辩论以及对社会问题的政治解决方案中的作用。 这项专业发展奖学金将为研究人员提供专门研究大气科学的培训和研究的研究者，尤其是气候和气候建模。 它旨在帮助他回答两个问题：大气科学家如何塑造社会反应和对全球环境问题的反应，以及相互涉及这些问题的政治辩论如何塑造大气科学。在主持人科学家的指导下，培训计划包括课程工作，教程教程和文献综述。 研究计划包括参加会议，进行实验室访问和访谈，观察公共机构和非政府组织面前大气科学家的出现以及与这些群体代表的访谈。 研究者还将研究和分析影响全球环境政策辩论的科学模型的三个重要案例：（a）1972年罗马俱乐部增长研究的限制，（b）1987年《蒙特利尔协议及其多个继任协议》，以及（c） ）1992年未来的里约全球环境峰会。 培训和研究为其他类似社会现象的未来比较研究提供了基础。 由于这是培训补助金，因此出版物不是主要目标。 但是，调查员计划完成许多文章，并可能与他的主人一起开发一些联合出版物。 ***
