The BACC Author Team

The BACC Author Team consists of more than 80 scientists from 13 countries, covering various disciplines related to climate research and related impacts. Each chapter of the book is authored by one to four lead authors and several contributing authors. While the former established the overall conception, did much of the writing and are largely responsible for the assessment parts of the chapters, the latter contributed pieces of information of various extent to the contents of the book. In order to highlight the teamwork character of this book, both lead and contributing authors of each chapter are mentioned as an author group at the beginning of each chapter, rather than attributing individual section or text contributions to individual contributing authors. Lead authors are mentioned first, followed by contributing authors, ordered alphabetically. The authors of annexes, by contrast, are named individually on top of each annex, section or sub-section within the annex part.  

The following list names all authors ordered alphabetically, according to their contribution to the respective chapters.
