Edwin Maurer (Civil Engineering): Brekke, L.D., Dettinger, M.D., Maurer, E.P., and Anderson, M., 2008, Significance of model credibility in projection distributions for regional hydroclimatological impacts of climate change: Climatic Change, 89, doi:10.1007/s10584-007-9388-3, 371-394. The paper summarizes results of a US Bureau of Reclamation research effort, in which the authors evaluate the historical skill of global climate models and conclude that historic skill plays only a modest role in framing future climate projections.
