Thomas W. Blaine is a natural resource economist and an Associate Professor with Ohio State University Extension. He conducts research and develops educational materials on a wide range of environmental topics including recycling, protection of sensitive ecosystems, and global climate change.

Tim Haab is a Professor of environmental economics at Ohio State University. He is an expert on the valuation of difficult to measure environmental resources, and on the influence of social norms on environmental behaviors. Recently, Dr. Haab has developed modeling tools to assess the implications of climate policy on the Ohio economy. He writes an influential environmental economics blog: www.env-econ.net.

Ellen Mosley-Thompson is a Professor of climatology and atmospheric science at Ohio State University. She specializes in the reconstruction of Earth’s climate history from the chemical and physical properties preserved in ice cores collected from glaciers around the world. She is a University Distinguished Scholar at Ohio State University, and a member of the prestigious National Academy of Sciences.

Brent Sohngen is a Professor of environmental economics at Ohio State University. He conducts research on land use and climate change, carbon trading, and water quality trading. He co-authored sections of the 2001 and 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports on the impacts of climate change on forests and agriculture, and on the potential for carbon sequestration in forests.

Bill Stanley is the Director of Conservation in Ohio for The Nature Conservancy, and is also developing a carbon offset strategy for the North American Region of The Nature Conservancy. Prior to this he was the director of TNC’s Global Climate Change Initiative, with oversight of the forest carbon offset and climate change adaptation programs. He has published work on policies that promote land management and offsets as tools for reducing global warming and was a co-author and principal reviewer of two of the most well-respected forest carbon offset standards. The Nature Conservancy continues to be a leader in forest carbon offset projects, with over a dozen projects in six countries.
