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爱德华兹关于科学，技术和社会机构的相互作用的研究的中心焦点关注科学和社会运动在塑造社会问题的概念建设，公共辩论和政治解决方案中的作用。 该专业发展奖学金将为专门从事该研究领域的研究人员提供一年的大气科学培训和研究，特别是气候学和气候建模。 它旨在帮助他回答两个问题： 大气科学家如何塑造社会对全球环境问题的反应和响应，以及围绕这些问题的政治辩论如何塑造大气科学。培训计划包括课程作业，辅导教学和文献复习的主持科学家的指导下。 研究计划包括出席会议、进行实验室访问和访谈、观察大气科学家在公共机构和非政府组织面前的露面，以及与这些团体的代表进行访谈。 研究员还将研究和分析影响全球环境政策辩论的科学模式的三个重要案例：（a）罗马俱乐部1972年的增长极限研究，（B）1987年的蒙特利尔议定书及其若干后续协定，（c）1992年环发会议里约全球环境首脑会议。 培训和研究为今后对其他类似社会现象进行比较研究奠定了基础。 由于这是一项培训赠款，出版物不是主要目标。 尽管如此，研究人员计划完成一些文章，并可能与他的东道主联合出版一些出版物。 ***
