NPG Paper of the Month: “Brief communication: Climate science as a social process – history, climatic determinism, Mertonian norms and post-normality”

Hans von Storch February 16, 2023

The NPG paper of the month for January 2023 was awarded to “Brief communication: Climate science as a social process – history, climatic determinism, Mertonian norms and post-normality” by Hans von Storch. One could argue that climate science is part of geophysics, or more precisely that part of climate science is part of geophysics. But when referring to ”processes” in ”Nonlinear Processes in Geo ...[Read More]
