Dr. Nair is a research scientist at the Earth System Science Center, The University of Alabama in Huntsville. He received his Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science from Colorado State University in 2002. Dr. Nair’s research interests include mesoscale numerical modeling, atmosphere-biosphere interaction, influence of land use on regional climate and sustainability of ecosystems, transport and dispersion at multiple scales, including long range aerosol transport and aerosol impacts on climate. Dr. Nair’s research on the impact of land use change on tropical montane cloud forests in Costa Rica was selected as one of the ten most important science papers of year 2001 in the areas of Earth Science, Environment and Ecology by Science News. Dr. Nair is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Atmospheric Science Department in the University of Alabama in Huntsville. |

Dr. Kwo-Sen Kuo is a research scientist at Caelum Research Corporation, Rockville, Maryland. He received his Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science from Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado, in 1995. For his dissertation research he created a three-dimensional radiative transfer model based on the Picard Iteration method which is akin to the better known successive-order-of-scattering method. In additional to radiative transfer theory and modeling, his research interests include scattering characterization for irregularly shaped particles and their ensembles, precipitation retrieval using spaceborne radars, cloud microphysics retrieval, image processing, image feature extraction and classification. Beside Earth Science research, Dr. Kuo also serves as a scientist consultant to the NASA Earth Science Data Information System (ESDIS) project on the evolution of the Earth Observing System Data Information System (EOSDIS), specifically on making using NASA Earth Science data easier for scientist users.
