Linnea Avallone is Associate Professor with the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics and the Program in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of Colorado at Boulder. She also currently serves as Associate Director of Advising for Natural Sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences. Avallone is an expert in the design and development of instrumentation for in situ measurements of atmospheric trace gases. Her research has included studies of halogen chemistry and ozone loss in both the polar stratosphere and the high latitude boundary layer, and measurements of ice water content of cirrus clouds and rocket exhaust. Avallone is a recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) in 2000 and has been an active participant in the Atmospheric Sciences Section of the American Geophysical Union. 
Antonio J. Busalacchi is Director at the University of Maryland Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center (ESSIC) and Professor in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science. Tony came to ESSIC in 2000, after serving as Chief of the NASA/Goddard Laboratory for Hydrospheric Processes. In 1999, he was appointed Co-Chairman of the Scientific Steering Group for the World Climate Research Programme on Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR). Tony's ongoing area of research is the role of tropical ocean circulation in the coupled climate system. Professor Busalacchi has been awarded numerous honors including an AMS Fellow, recipient of the 1991 Arthur S. Flemming Award, the 1999 NASA/Goddard Excellence in Outreach Award, and chosen by President Clinton to receive the Presidential Rank Meritorious Executive Award. 
Kevin Hamilton is Professor and Chair of the Department of Meteorology of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, as well as a Group Leader at the University of Hawaii International Pacific Research Center. His research has been mainly in the areas of atmospheric waves, dynamics of the middle atmosphere, and global atmospheric modelling of the terrestrial and Martian atmospheres. He is serving as the President of the International Commission for the Middle Atmosphere and was until recently a member of the Scientific Steering Group of the WCRP Stratospheric Processes and their Role in Climate (SPARC) Program. Hamilton received the AMS Meisinger Award in 1995 and was elected a fellow of the AMS in 2001. 
Robert B. Jackson is currently Director of Duke's Center on Global Change, the Duke University Program in Ecology, and Duke's new Stable Isotope Mass Spectrometry Laboratory. He and his group examine feedbacks between global change and the biosphere. Current projects in his lab include studies of the global carbon and water cycles, biosphere/ atmosphere interactions, and vegetation change. Jackson has received numerous awards, including the Murray F. Buell Award from the Ecological Society of America, a 1999 Presidential Early Career Award in Science and Engineering from the National Science Foundation, and inclusion in the top 0.5% of most cited scientific researchers. He has also authored several books, including The Earth Remains Forever and a children's book, Animal Mischief.
Ronald B. Smith leads Yale University's program in mesoscale meteorology and regional climate and directs the Yale Center for Earth Observation. His research program includes: atmospheric dynamics emphasizing density-stratified fluid dynamics and applied mathematics, observations of the atmosphere using aircraft and satellite, hydrometeorology using stable isotopes of water and theories of evaporation and rain, satellite remote sensing of landscape changes and climate sensitivity. His current projects include the theory and observations of orographic precipitation; the theory of gravity wave/boundary layer interaction, stable isotope methods for studying water transport and precipitation in the troposphere and stratosphere; satellite analysis of landscape changes and water resources in the Near East; mathematical models of tracer advection and diffusion; and the theory of hurricane motion and landfall. Dr. Smith is also a Professor of Geology & Geophysics, Mechanical Engineering and Forestry and Environmental Studies. 
Susan Trumbore is a currently the Acting Director of the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of California, Irvine and a Professor for the Earth System Science School of Physical Sciences. Her research interests include the use of radiocarbon to trace the global C cycle, greenhouse gas production and consumption in terrestrial ecosystems. She is the recipient of a National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award, the University of Delaware Presidential Citation for Outstanding Achievement, the UCI Distinguished Assistant Professor Award for Research, and was a 1997-1998 Bullard Fellow of Harvard University. 
John L. Wilson is Professor of Hydrology in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in Socorro, New Mexico. He has a BS from Georgia Institute of Technology, and MS, CE and PhD degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a current or former member of many professional society, university and government science advisory panels and committees, including the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Advisory Committees for Geoscience, and for Environmental Research and Education, the National Research Council’s Committee on Hydrologic Science, and the American Geophysical Union’s (AGU) Committee on Fellows. He recently stepped down as Chair of the Board of Directors of the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI). Wilson is a Fellow of AGU and of the Geological Society of America (GSA), a former Darcy Lecturer, and a holder of the O.E. Meinzer Award from GSA. In his own work, which is related mostly to groundwater hydrology, Wilson’s current efforts focus on contaminant source identification, stream-aquifer interaction, including the hyporheic zone, and recharge to mountains. The latter topic has taken him into related fields stretching from geostatistical precipitation estimation, through land surface energy balance modeling, to remote sensing
