CRU Research Publications
The majority of CRU's research output is published in the peer-reviewed science literature (journals and books), listed in full on our publications webpage. CRU Research Publications (CRU RPs) are occasional research reports that, due to various factors such as length, style or intended audience, are not suitable for publishing in the science literature. The first nine CRU RPs were originally published in hard copy form but are now available in electronic form, while from CRU RP10 onwards they are available only from our website in electronic form.
Three further reports are included in a second table at the bottom of this page. These were prepared for the US Department of Energy and are included here because they are widely cited but are out of print.
