What's in a name?

I might have mentioned before, that our research here is currently supported mostly by two 5-year projects. Of course, all projects require snappy acronyms (like JUMP). One of these projects is run by our friend Emori-san at NIES, who asked for our help in coming up with an appropriate English name. We eventually settled on ICA-RUS (Integrated Climate Assessment - Risks, Uncertainty and Society), which as well as referring to the main themes of the project also nods at the danger of overheating.

The other project is actually headed up by our lab, so of course no-one thought of asking our opinion. It is now called PRICC.

well to be accurate it might've been "...in C Knowledge"!

So I'm guessing the results from this project will be published in PNAS after all.
