... His areas of focus are global change, paleoclimate dynamics, and biogeochemistry, and his specific interests include global-scale climate and environmental dynamics; carbon dioxide concentrations and climate from stable hydrogen isotopes, peats, and other organics; climate from deuterium excess and hydrogen isotopes in ice cores; isotopes in general circulation models; and modern carbon cycle dynamics via isotopes of carbon dioxide and methane.
From page 228...
... Recent publications focus on field-validated modeling for sitespecific landfill CH4 emissions inclusive of local soils and climate, spatial and temporal variability of emissions, and alternative emission measurement strategies. During 2004-2007 she was the coordinating lead author for the "Waste Management" chapter of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

... Fiji George is the director of Regulatory Policy at Southwestern Energy and has more than 23 years of experience related to energy−environmental and sustainability science and policy issues spanning natural gas production, processing, transmission, and liquid natural gas. His current focus is on characterizing methane emissions from the natural gas value chain through collaborative research and developing sound policies to meet the challenge of reducing methane emissions from the natural gas sector.
From page 230...
... He has been involved in several multistakeholder studies, including the 2010-2011 National Petroleum Council, the University of Texas studies on methane emissions from the production sector, the Stanford University–led Energy Modeling Forum, and methane studies in collaboration with the Colorado School of Mines, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. He holds a master's in civil (environmental)

... She was a contributing author for the USDA report, Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Fluxes in Agriculture and Forestry: Methods for Entity-Scale Inventory; in particular, she co-authored the chapter on "Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Sources and Sinks in Animal Production Systems." In addition she has been involved in helping to improve whole-farm modeling efforts to estimate emissions from dairy production systems and efforts to quantify emissions for carbon credit applications. Maria Mastalerz is a senior scientist with the Indiana Geological and Water Survey and adjunct associate professor with the Department of Geological Sciences, Indiana University, Bloomington.
From page 232...
... He has served on the NASA Earth System Science and Applications Advisory and on the NASA Advisory Council as well as on the Carbon Cycle Science Plan Working Group and North American Carbon Program writing group. His recent National Research Council service includes the Committee on Indicators for Understanding Global Climate Change, the Panel on Atmosphere, the Committee on Methods for Estimating Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and the Committee on Ensuring the Utility and Integrity of Research Data in a Digital Age.
