SUPPLEMENTARY
WRITTEN EVIDENCE
SUBMITTED BY
THE UNIVERSITY
OF EAST
ANGLIA (UEA REVIEWS

ACCOMPANY DOCUMENTORAL EVIDENCE SESSION
ON 27 OCTOBER 2010
Q66 GRAHAM STRINGER
With reference to the statement made by Mr Stringer
"... particularly as Oxburgh himself said that Briffa couldn't
even reproduce his own work":
This is not what Lord Oxburgh actually said.
The relevant extract from the September 8 oral
evidence session:
Q34 GRAHAM
STRINGER: I have just two final
questions. When the panel was carrying out its appraisal were
the scientists at CRU able to make accurate reconstructions from
the publication back to the raw data that they themselves had
used?
Lord Oxburgh: Not in every case. Not with the
old material.
By repeating his assertion, which was also made
in an earlier interview with The Register, Mr Stringer is promulgating
an incorrect interpretation of Lord Oxburgh's statement on the
replication of CRU's research results.
Q123 STEPHEN
MOSLEY
With reference to the query as to whether UEA
had any involvement in the InterAcademy Council's review of IPCC
processes, as Prof Davies indicated in his reply, the University
was not consulted as a University.
The following members of UEA staff were consulted
by IAC, in some cases via the Royal Society, on IPCC in their
capacities as individual researchers:
Prof Bob Watson
Prof Phil Jones
Prof Mike Hulme
