The Cooperative Institute for Climate Applications and Research Scientific Review October 4-5, 2006 1. Karl K. Turekian, Ph.D., Chairperson Karl K. Turekian is the Sterling Professor of Geology and geophysics at Yale University. His undergraduate degree in Chemistry was from Wheaton College (Illinois) and his Ph.D. in Geochemistry was from Columbia University. He joined the Yale faculty in 1956. His major fields of research involve the use of radioactive, radiogenic and light stable isotopes in problems involving the atmosphere, oceans and Earth’s surface as well as planetary history. He has served on numerous NRC committees, the most recent of which was the Committee on the Surface Temperature Reconstructions for the Last 2000 Years (released on June 22, 2006). He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He holds the Maurice Ewing Medal of the 2. John Marsha!, Ph.D. John Marshall is currently a Professor in the Program in Atmospheres, Oceans and Climate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Director of MIT’s Climate Modeling Initiative. He is also a faculty member of the MIT-Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint Program in Oceanography / Applied Ocean Science and Engineering. His current research interests center on climate and the general circulation of the atmosphere and oceans and the development and application of mathematical and numerical models ofkey physical and biogeochemical processes, most notably the MITgcm (MIT General Circulation Model)(http://mitgcm.org/). He received his B.Sc. in Physics from Imperial College in 1976 and his Ph.D. in Atmospheric Physics from Imperial College in 1980. 3. Jennifer Phi!ips, Ph.D. Bard Center for Environmental Policy Jennifer Phillips is currently an Assistant Professor at the Bard Center for Environmental Policy at Bard College. Her research focuses on the use of climate information in agricultural decision making. After many years of working with farmers in East and Southern Africa from her positions as research scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and the International Research Institute for Climate Prediction at Columbia’s Earth Institute, she is now studying adaptation to climate change and risk management related to extreme climate events among farmers in the Hudson Valley. She also leads a 4. Silvia Garzoli, Ph.D. Silvia Garzoli is currently Director of Physical Oceanography Division of NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory in Miami, FL. Her main field of interest is the dynamics of the ocean and its relation to climate. As a sea-going oceanographer, her main field of expertise is in the use of long-term moored instrumentation to study the oceanic circulation and its relation to climate. For a large part of her career, she conductedand directed national and international research programs in several oceanic regions of theworld. This includes the tropical Atlantic, the Brazil Malvinas Confluence in the South Western Atlantic, the Indonesian throughflow at the strait of Makassar, the Benguela Current system south of South Africa, and the North Brazil Current north of Brazil. In addition to the analysis of the observations that she has collected during her research expeditions, she has also worked with the products of numerical models to further analyze the data and understand the physics of the processes involved. She is currently involved in different projects directed to monitor and study the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and the meridional heat transport in the Atlantic. 5. David W. Stahle, Ph.D. Department of Geosciences David W. Stahle is currently Distinguished Professor and Director of the Tree-Ring Laboratory, Department of Geosciences, University of Arkansas-Fayetteville. He received his B.A. in Anthropology from the University of Arizona (1973), his M.A. in Archaeology from the University of Arkansas (1978), and his Ph.D. from Arizona State University in Geography/Climatology (1990). His research concentrates on the development of long, climate-sensitive tree-ring chronologies from the United States, Mexico, and southern Africa; the reconstruction and analysis of past climate from these exactly dated time series; and the social and environmental impacts of past climatic extremes, especially decadal drought. He also founded the Ancient Cross Timbers Consortium 6. Ex-Officio, Cooperative Institute Representative: Joseph M. Prospero Professor and Director, Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies Joseph M. Prospero is currently a Professor in the Division of Marine and Atmospheric Chemistry at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Miami. He is also Director of the Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS) in the Rosenstiel School. CIMAS is a Cooperative Institute with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and, as such, facilitates cooperative research in the atmospheric and marine sciences between NOAA and the University. His research interests focus on the chemistry of the marine atmosphere with an emphasis |
