After decades of work, Dr. Schneider, along with four generations of IPCC authors, received a collective Nobel Peace Prize for their joint efforts in 2007. Professor Schneider's papers consist of Climatic Change editorial records; research files; teaching files; administrative records; correspondence; computer files/email; and audiovisual material. Well documented is the history, content, and implications of climate change science. It is a treasure trove for those interested in understanding and addressing climate change.
