Foreword
In late 2000 and early 2001 the US Global Research Program, USGCRP,
made available both the Overview and its associated Foundation
report for its major study activity of "Climate Change Impacts on
the United States: The Potential Consequences of Climate Variability
and Change." Both documents were published by Cambridge University
Press and are also available at on the Web at http://www.gcrio.org/NationalAssessment/
The Foundation report contains citations for the literature upon which
the conclusions drawn in both the Overview and Foundation report were
based. Because of the Study's importance, scope, and wide participation,
these citations together represent a relatively concise source for finding
the literature sources that the study's several hundred participants
from all over the US felt were the most important. As such, it is
expected that they will form the basis not only for similar follow-on
studies but for a wide range of other uses by the broad spectrum of
educators, policymakers, researchers, and general public users concerned
with our relationship to the always changing environment in which
we live. This publication makes these important literature citations
available in a single, concise form. If downloaded from http://www.globalchange.gov/
they're searchable.
To help the user of this publication find the literature citations
in which they are most interested, the citations have been separated
into subject categories. These categories, with representative topics
that each includes, are below and are the same as those used for the
USGCRP's yearly publication of citations for the newly available agency
data related to the USGCRP. Within each category, the literature citations
have been sorted by source in the Foundation report so users can better
know the application in which it was used.

name below.
