Roni Avissar is the head of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Duke University. For the past 25 years, Dr. Avissar has focused on the development and evaluation of various environmental fluid dynamics models to study ocean-land-atmosphere interactions at the various spatial and temporal scales. His work includes analytical, numerical and observational studies. He has pioneered the development of land-surface parameterizations that account for the impact of spatial heterogeneity of land-surface characteristics in atmospheric numerical models (Avissar and Pielke 1989, Avissar 1998). He also pioneered the parameterization of mesoscale atmospheric fluxes on clouds, precipitation, and other hydrometeorological processes in large-scale atmospheric numerical models (Avissar and Chen 1993). He has also developed a fully coupled lake-atmosphere three-dimensional numerical model (Avissar and Pan 2000, Pan and Avissar 2002) and is involved in the development of the Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Model - OLAM (Walko and Avissar 2007). These models are used for various research and operational projects. His work also includes observations and the development of observing tool, such as the 
Tony J. Busalacchi is the founding Director of the University of Maryland Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center (ESSIC) and Professor in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science. He 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. 
Mary Anne Carrol is a professor of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Sciences and Chemistry
at the University of Michigan. In addition to professor, Dr. Carroll is the director of the Biosphere-Atmosphere Research & Training (
Russ Monson is a professor of Biology at the University of Colorado. He started as an assistant professort in the Department of Environmental, Population and Organismic Biology in 1982 and since then has held a variety of positions including Chairing that Department from 2001 to 2004 and as the Director of the Environmental Residential Academic Program (1998-2001). His most recent honors include Professor of Distinction, College of Arts & Sciences, University of Colorado (2007-present) and a Fulbright Senior Fellowship in Germany (2004-2005).
