For four years, the author joined these scientists in their sampling expeditions into the Caledonian forests, observed their efforts in the laboratory to produce data from wood samples, and followed their discussions of a graph showing the fluctuations of the Scottish temperature over the past millennium in conferences, workshops and peer-review journals. This epistemography of climate change is of broad social and academic relevance - both for its contextualised treatment of a key contemporary science, and for its original formulation of a methodology for investigating and writing about expertise.New ethnographies.Manchester scholarship online.Climatic changesResearchScotlandClimatic changesScotlandClimate action.Climate change.Climate science.Credibility.Dendroclimatology.Epistemography.Ethnography.Knowledge.Science and Technology Studies.Social research methodology.Sociology.Climatic changesResearchClimatic changes304.25Ramírez-i-Ollé Meritxell1659094StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910813121603321Into the woods4013571UNINA
