气候变化已成为21世纪世纪的一个重要环境问题。然而，对气候变化科学的强调已经使侧重于人类对气候历史的解释、适应和恢复力以及探索可能帮助人们适应气候变化的机构和文化应对战略的研究黯然失色。此外，虽然气候变化的概念受到物理科学的相当严格的审查，但最近的气候学术研究突出表明，有必要重新审查气候的文化和空间层面，并从人文和社会科学的角度作出贡献。建立一个多学科的对话和方法，气候研究的过去，现在和未来可以说从来没有如此重要。本文概述了历史气候学研究的发展，并考虑了跨物理科学，社会科学，人文科学和艺术进行的气候，气候变率和气候变化研究的综合多学科方法的例子。我们强调国际地球大气环流重建倡议是这种综合办法的一个例子。最初，ACRE是作为气候科学对澳大利亚昆士兰州农业部门的需求的响应，以建立一个更长、更时空完整的天气数据库。ACRE现在已经发展成为一个跨学科合作的国际研究小组，将他们的努力整合到四维（4D）动态全球历史气候质量再分析（重建）中。WIREs Clim Change 2016，7：164-174. doi：10.1002/wcc.379有关本文的更多资源，请访问。
Climate change has become a key environmental narrative of the 21st century. However, emphasis on the science of climate change has overshadowed studies focusing on human interpretations of climate history, of adaptation and resilience, and of explorations of the institutions and cultural coping strategies that may have helped people adapt to climate changes in the past. Moreover, although the idea of climate change has been subject to considerable scrutiny by the physical sciences, recent climate scholarship has highlighted the need for a re-examination of the cultural and spatial dimensions of climate, with contributions from the humanities and social sciences. Establishing a multidisciplinary dialogue and approach to climate research past, present, and future has arguably never been more important. This article outlines developments in historical climatology research and considers examples of integrated multidisciplinary approaches to climate, climatic variability, and climate change research, conducted across the physical sciences, social sciences, humanities, and the arts. We highlight the international Atmospheric Circulation Reconstructions over the Earth (ACRE) initiative as one example of such an integrated approach. Initially, ACRE began as a response from climate science to the needs of the agricultural sector in Queensland, Australia for a longer, more spatially, and temporally-complete database of the weather. ACRE has now evolved to embrace an international group of researchers working together across disciplines to integrate their efforts into a four-dimensional (4D) dynamical global historical climate-quality reanalysis (reconstruction).
