MICHAEL B. MCELROY HARVARD UNIVERSITY, DEPARTMENT OF EARTH & PLANETARY SCIENCES Michael B. McElroy received his elementary and graduate education from Queen's University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. After spending a postdoctoral year in the Chemistry Department at the University of Wisconsin, he was appointed staff scientist in 1963 at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Tucson, Arizona. In 1970, he was named Abbott Lawrence Rotch Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at Harvard University, and in 1975 was appointed Director of the Center for Earth and Planetary Physics. Since 1986 he has been Chairman of the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and since 1992 Chairman of the University Committee on Environment at Harvard where he leads an interdisciplinary study on the implications of China's rapid industrial development for the local, regional and global environment. In 1997, he was named the Gilbert Butler Professor of Environmental Studies. McElroy's research interests range from studies on the origin and evolution of the planets to, more recently, an emphasis on effects of human activity on the global environment of the Earth. He is the author of more than 200 technical papers contributing to our understanding of human induced changes in stratospheric ozone and to the potential for serious disruptions to global and regional climate due to anthropogenically related emissions of greenhouse gases. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the International Academy of Aeronautics, the American Geophysical Union and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He was the recipient of the Macelwane Award of the American Geophysical Union in 1968, the NASA Public Service Medal in 1978 and the Eire Society Gold Medal in 1987. In 1989 he was awarded the George Ledlie Prize at Harvard University for the person who "since the last award of said prize, has by research, discovery, or otherwise made the most valuable contribution to science, or in any way for the benefit of mankind" and received the Research and Development Award from the National Energy Resources Organization. He was honored with award of an honorary degree of Doctor of Science by Queen's University of Belfast in 1991. WILLIAM R. MOOMAW FLETCHER SCHOOL OF LAW AND DIPLOMACY, TUFTS INSTITUTE OF THE ENVIRONMENT, TUFTS UNIVERSITY 26 William R. Moomaw is Professor of International Environmental Policy, and has been the Director of the International Environment and Resource Policy Program at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University since 1992. In addition to his work at the Fletcher School, he is also Director of Tufts Institute of the Environment which coordinates a variety of environmental programs in research, education, activism, outreach and service at all of Tufts University’s varied schools and colleges. He also co-directs the Global Development and Environment Institute, which explores the relationship among economics, environment and technology. Dr. Moomaw received his undergraduate degree from Williams College, and his Ph.D. in physical chemistry from MIT. He directed the Climate, Energy and Pollution Program at the World Resources Institute in Washington, DC in 1988. While working for Congress, he helped to develop the legislation that eliminated CFCs from aerosol cans, worked on energy research following the oil embargo and on the National Forest Management Act. He is currently coordinating the emissions reduction chapter for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2000 Assessment. He is developing new strategies for meeting the goals of the climate
convention, and was a facilitator in 1997 and 1998 for a group of negotiators, industrial and NGO representatives addressing the Kyoto Protocol. He currently serves on the Board of Trustees of Earthwatch and the Consensus Building Institute. BERRIEN MOORE III PROFESSOR, UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE Berrien Moore III joined the University of New Hampshire faculty in 1969, soon after receiving his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Virginia. A professor of systems research, he received the University's 1993 Excellence in Research Award and was named one of UNH's first two University Distinguished Professors in 1997. He has led the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans and Space at UNH as Director since 1987. Professor Moore has served on numerous National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) committees and was appointed chairman of NASA's senior science advisory panel in 1987. Upon completion of his term in 1992 he was awarded the Distinguished Public Service Medal, NASA's highest civilian award. Most recently he was appointed to NASA's Earth System Science and Applications Advisory Committee. Actively involved on committees at the National Academy of Science, he ended his Chairmanship of the National Academy's Committee on Global Change Research with the publication of "Global Environmental Change: Research Pathways for the Next Decade" at the conclusion of 1998 and completed his Chairmanship of the Academy's Committee on International Space Programs of the Space Studies Board. In January of 1998 Professor Moore assumed the Chair of the overarching Scientific Committee of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and serves as lead author within the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
