Dr. Daniel Schrag, Director of the Laboratory for Geochemical Oceanography at Harvard, Director of the University Center for the Environment, and Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University, a distinguished scientist, geochemist and paleoclimatologist. His passion is climate and climate change. As a paleoclimatologist, he reconstructs climates of the past to help solve climate puzzles today. As a professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard, he teaches the next generation of students and scientists. As an geo-chemist and the Director of the Laboratory for Geochemical Oceanography at Harvard, he brings together all spheres of earth science in exploring the links between ocean circulation and climate. He also developed, with Dr. Paul Hoffman, the Snowball Earth hypothesis. As the Director of Harvard University’s Center for the Environment, he leads the university’s effort to create an interdisciplinary community of scientists, researchers, and students.Dr. Willam Moomaw, Atmospheric Chemist and Climate Change Policy Expert, Professor of Enviornmental Policy, Fletcher School of International Diplomacy, Tufts University
