A famous US climate scientist at the centre of the "climategate" has been virtually cleared of professional misconduct by an internal university inquiry. Michael Mann of Penn State University featured regularly in the more than 1 000 e-mails that were hacked from the University of East Angha (UEA) in the UK last November. His e-mails and comments have since then featured in countless blogs and news articles. Some have claimed the e-mails reveal that many climate scientists have changed data in order to demonstrate that climate change is caused by human activities. The scientists in the e-mails, including Mann, have also been accused of seeking to prevent the publication of doubting research in academic journals.
Penn State University opened an inquiry into Mann’s behavior in November, shortly after the e-mails were leaked into the public attention. After going through 1 075 e-mails and focusing on that were believed relevant to public idea of misconduct by Mann, the inquiry has, by and large, cleared his name. The internal inquiry has found that Mann did not participate in, directly or indirectly, any actions to hide or change data, nor did he remove or otherwise destroy e-mails, information and/or data relating to Climate Change’s 2007 report. One e-mail that has received much media attention was sent to Mann by Phil Jones, then director of the UEA’s Climatic Research Unit. It asked Mann to delete some e-mails regarding the 2007 IPCC report.
The report is not clear about whether Mann’s behavior has harmed the public trust in science. It cites Penn State’s official ethical standards, which says faculty have an obligation to maintain high moral standards in order to raise public trust in science. It then goes on to discuss the fallout from the e-mail leak which, it says, may have driven the public into two camps: one that believes the leak harms climate science and another that does not.
"After careful consideration of all the evidence and relevant materials, the inquiry committee could not make a definitive finding whether there exists any evidence to prove that Dr. Mann did engage in, or participate in, directly or indirectly, any actions against accepted academic practices," reads the report. This final point will now be at the centre of a further investigation.
"This is very much the proof I expected since I am confident I have done nothing wrong," Mann told NewScientist. "I fully support the additional inquiry which may be the best way to remove any remaining doubts."
The following investigation will focus on whether Dr. Mann is related to actions against______.
选项
答案
accepted academic practices
解析
细节推断题。本题考查该报告后续调查的重点。文中说,调查委员会不能确定Mann是否从事或参与过任何有悖于现有学术规范的行为,而这一点将成为进一步凋查的重点。题干中的focus on与文中的be at thecentre of同义,故答案为accepted academicpractices。
