SUPPLEMENTARY WRITTEN EVIDENCE SUBMITTED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA (UEA REVIEWS 00A)

ACCOMPANY DOCUMENT—ORAL 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
