Harvard Energy Journal Club Information Attic

This site contains papers that are relevant background or supplemental information for Harvard Energy Journal Club discussions.   These papers typically contain information about topics that came up during discussions, but were not the focus of the discussion.   We refer to this section as "The Attic" because it is where items are stored that only needed from time to time.
