Prof. Jan de Leeuw
Royal Netherlands
Institute for Sea Research |
| 
|
Dr. Jan de Leeuw is the former Director and Senior Scientist
of the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ),
which was established in 1876 and is presently one of the major
European oceanographic institutes. Dr. de Leeuw obtained his
doctoral degree in Chemistry from the University of Amsterdam
in 1971. After a distinguished career at the University of Delft
and the University of Utrecht, he moved to NIOZ in 1993 as head
of the Department of Marine Biogeochemistry, and has been Director
of NIOZ since 1995. He maintains a part-time position as professor
at the University of Utrecht. He has supervised over 40 PhD
students, and has received many honours and awards. Dr. de Leeuw
is a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences. He
has published over 460 papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals,
including many in Nature and Science. He is the chairman of
the Academic Advisory Board of the Hanse Wissenschaftskolleg
and also represents oceanography and climatic research in HWK.
He is also represented in the Foundation Council of HWK and
is also a member of the Marine Board of the European Science
Foundation (ESF).

Dr. Kiyoshi Suyehiro
Executive Director, JAMSTEC |
|
Dr. Suyehiro has been Executive Director of Research & Development
at Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC)
since 2003.
He received Dr. Sci. in Geophysics from the University of Tokyo
in 1980. From then on, he worked at Tohoku University, Chiba
University, and at Ocean Research Institute of the University
of Tokyo chiefly engaged in marine seismology. He led and participated
in many marine seismological research works studying crustal
and lithospheric structures in relation to plate subduction
seismicity and island arc evolution in the western Pacific area.
He was co-chief on ODP Leg 128 to emplace a digital broadband
seismometer in ocean borehole in the Japan Sea in 1989.
He has served as Senior Specialist for Scientific Affairs,
Ministry of Education, Science and Culture, and was Treasurer
and then Meetings Committee Chair for the Seismological Society
of Japan. Dr. Suyehiro was Editor, Geophysical Research Letters,
the publication of the American Geophysical Union, and he currently
holds the position of Secretary of the Board of Governors of
IODP-MI - Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Management International.
He has authored many papers in the areas of subduction zone
structure and dynamics, island arc structure and evolution,
and seafloor and borehole sensor system developments and networking.
Dr. Suyehiro joined JAMSTEC in 1999 as Director of the Deep
Sea Research Department to pursue his efforts to emplace seafloor
observatories. Starting that year, 4 borehole observatories
were set up in the Western Pacific forming an Ocean Hemisphere
Network together with land stations. He is now overseeing the
overall research and activities at JAMSTEC focusing on predicting
our future as accurately as possible as the System Earth changes,
which to his mind means more observatories in the ocean.

Anthony H Knap, PhD
President & Director, BIOS
|
| 
|
Dr. Knap has been at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences
(formerly the Bermuda Biological Station for Research, Inc.)
since 1977 after receiving his PhD in Chemical Oceanography
from the Department of Oceanography, University of Southampton,
UK.
At BIOS, Dr. Knap started the Marine and Atmospheric Program
(MAP), carrying out research in environmental matters, petroleum
hydrocarbon research, nearshore marine science, atmospheric
and oceanic projects as well as global climate issues. Dr. Knap
has been Director of BIOS since March 1986 and President since
2003. Dr. Knap founded the Risk Prediction Initiative, a partnership
between re-insurance and climate change in 1994 which still
continues today.
Dr. Knap is author of over 90 peer-reviewed scientific publications
in the areas of marine pollution, atmospheric pollution and
Global Change. He served for 10 years as chairman of the jointly
sponsored Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO/United
Nations Environmental Programmes' Group of Experts for Methods,
Standards and Intercalibration (GEMSI). He was the co-chair
of the Coastal Oceans Observing Panel for the Global Ocean Observing
system (GOOS) and is a member of the Steering Committee of OCEANSITES
(an international panel for ocean climate observations). For
18 years he served on the steering committee of the Joint Global
Ocean Flux Study - the main global program for the study of
carbon in the ocean. He is the past President of the US Southern
Association of Marine Laboratories (SAML). He also served as
the chairman of the IOC Health of the Ocean Panel for the Global
Ocean Observing System. Dr. Knap is a reviewer for the US National
Science Foundation, US Department of Energy, NATO, US EPA. He
