Acknowledgments by the Effects Panel

While this report represents the work of the panel, it would not have been produced without the support of professional staff from the Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, and Institute of Medicine: Rob Coppock, Deborah Stine, and Nancy Crowell. Their resumes are included with those of the panel because of their intellectual contributions to the study. The report was greatly improved by the diligent work of its editor, Roseanne Price. In addition, invaluable support was provided by Marion Roberts.

The panel acknowledges with appreciation a presentation made to the panel by Donald J. Wuebbles. The panel also wishes to acknowledge contributions to Chapter 8 by Douglas E. Kinnison, Donald J. Wuebbles, and William Emanuel. The analysis in Chapter 5 was partially supported by the U.S. Department of Energy/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Inter-Agency Agreement number DE-AIO5-90ER60592. Analysis presented in Chapter 8 was performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric and Climate Research Division by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under contract W-7405-ENG-48. The National Research Council's Board on Atmospheric Science and Climate also provided draft documents for the panel's consideration.

Acknowledgments by the Mitigation Panel

The panel acknowledges with appreciation the following people, who aided the panel in the analysis of some of the mitigation options: Stephanie Pollack and Robert Russell, both of the Conservation Law Foundation; Ruth Reck, Richard Schwing, and George Wolff, all of General Motors Research; Lynn Wright, Oak Ridge National Laboratory; Edward Lukosius, E.I. du Pont; and Celina Atkinson, Jonathan Koomey, Alan Meier, Robert Mowris, Lynn Price, and Ellen Ward, all of Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.
