SCOPE project results are usually published as synthesis reports, state-of-the-science analyses and evaluations of environmental issues. Mid-term results of a project are often published as proceedings volumes, or as articles in learned reviews. Tradebook publications based on the synthesis reports and project results target a wider public.

Changes in the Human-Monsoon System of East Asia in the Context of Global Change

Congbin Fu, J.R. Freny, and J.W.B. Stewart (editors). July 2008. World Scientific Publishing. ISBN 978-981-283-241-2

The region of monsoon Asia has been identified as one of the priorities for an Integrated Regional Study by the Earth System Science Partnership. To provide the knowledge base of such a study, the global change System for Analysis, Research and Training (START) in collaboration with the Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment (SCOPE) developed a rapid assessment project to evaluate the progress of global change research in the East Asian region. http://www.worldscibooks.com/environsci/6924.html
