Mr. David Bowling University of Utah Department of Biology Salt Lake City, UT My primary research interests are in ecosystem ecology, particularly the biogeochemical cycling of carbon and water within terrestrial ecosystems. Work in my lab focuses on examining carbon and water relations of plants and soils at the ecosystem scale, with the principal goals of understanding 1) ecosystem physiological processes, 2) factors influencing the carbon and hydrological cycles within ecosystems, 3) biosphere-atmosphere fluxes of carbon dioxide, water vapor, and their isotopes, and 4) ecosystem water balance, particularly in ecosystems of the western United States. This work is interdisciplinary in nature, requiring collaboration with colleagues from a variety of scientific disciplines, including plant physiology, soil science, hydrology, micrometeorology, and geochemistry.

Valier Galy Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry Woods Hole, MA I seek to understand how biogeochemical processes influence the composition of the atmosphere (CO2 and O2 concentrations) over a range of timescales from decades to millions of years, thereby regulating Earth’s climate and affecting the evolution of life.

Specifically, my group is conducting research on:

• Fluvial transfer of organic carbon from continental reservoirs to the ocean.
• Carbon cycling in the Critical Zone.
• Impact of climate change on the dynamics of terrestrial organic carbon cycling.
• Deep biosphere, role of microbial communities in sedimentary systems.
• Relationships between erosion, tectonics and climate over geologic timescales.
• Radiocarbon dating (compound specific, ramped pyrolysis/oxidation), new dating techniques.
• Developing paleo-climate proxies, e.g. compound specific stable isotope measurements.

Edward Maibach, MPH, PhD George Mason University Center of Excellence in Climate Change Communication Research Fairfax, VA Founded in August, 2007, the Center of Excellence in Climate Change Communication Research (CECCCR)is the nation's first research center devoted exclusively to addressing the communication challenges associated with global climate change. While the scientific evidence of climate change has never been clearer, exactly how to foster widespread policy and behavior change to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is less well understood. Designing effective behavior change and advocacy campaigns will require a thorough understanding of various audiences, including how best to reach and communicate with them, and how best to make it easy for them to adopt new behaviors. Our Center is dedicated to addressing these challenges. Our efforts are focused on four strategic areas: 1. Engaging a broad range of research experts and business, non-profit and government leaders to identify the most pressing communication, marketing and behavior change research questions. 2. Conducting communication, marketing and behavior change research to learn how best to educate, motivate and assist people and businesses in reducing their - and our nation's - "carbon footprint" 3. Providing technical assistance to a broad range of organizations (in the public, non-profit and private sectors) so as to improve their climate change education, communication, advocacy and behavior change programs. 4. Encouraging the development of similar initiatives abroad, especially in nations where effective societal responses are urgently needed to avert the climate crisis (such as China, India, Brazil and Russia).

Anna M. Michalak Carnegie Institution for Science Department of Global Ecology Stanford, CA Our research focuses primarily on two areas. We are interested in understanding the cycling and emissions of greenhouse gases at the Earth surface at urban to global scales – scales directly relevant to informing climate and policy – primarily through the use of atmospheric observations that provide the clearest constraints at these critical scales. We are also interested in climate change impacts on freshwater and coastal water quality via influences on nutrient delivery to, and on conditions within, water bodies. Our approach is highly data-driven, with a common methodological thread being the development and application of spatiotemporal statistical data fusion methods for optimizing the use of limited in situ and remote sensing environmental data.

Scott Saleska University of Arizona Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Tucson, AZ My research interests focus on ecosystem ecology and biogeochemistry, particularly carbon and water cycling within terrestrial ecosystems. Work in my group focuses on examining carbon, water, and trace gas cycling through plants and soils at the ecosystem scale, with the principal goals of understanding how large scale biogeochemical processes can be importantly influenced by physiological, demographic, and ecological interactions within and among species. A principle research tool is the measurement of biosphere-atmosphere fluxes of carbon dioxide, water vapor, trace gases, and their isotopes. This work is highly interdisciplinary, requiring scientific background from a variety of scientific disciplines, including ecology, plant physiology, soil science, hydrology, micrometeorology, and geochemistry.

Patrick Sheridan NOAA/OAR/ESRL Global Monitoring Division Global Radiation and Aerosols Boulder, CO Dr. Sheridan's primary responsibility is to oversee the operation and data flow of the NOAA/ESRL Global Federated Aerosol Network. The goals of this surface aerosol monitoring program are to characterize means, variability, and trends of climate-forcing properties of different types of aerosols, and to understand the factors that control these properties. The measurements from this network provide critical ground-truth for satellite measurements, as well as key aerosol parameters for global-scale models. Current research interests of Dr. Sheridan include working to improve and simplify the measurement of aerosol optical properties to better determine their effects on aerosol radiative forcing, efforts to reduce the uncertainties in aerosol black/brown carbon and aerosol light absorption measurements, investigation of water uptake and cloud nucleation properties of atmospheric aerosols, and working to better incorporate aerosol measurements from surface monitoring stations into global climate models.
