- Alan Robock (Rutgers University) - Stratospheric aerosols, their effects on radiative forcing, analogues (volcanoes) & risks
- Graham Feingold (NOAA) - Cloud‐aerosol microphysics, effects of marine and high clouds on albedo & climate, analogoues (ship tracks), and risks
- Thomas H. Painter (JPL) - Surface cover effects on albedo & climate, analogues (dust on snow), and risks
- Phil Rasch (Pacific Northwest National Laboratory) - Modeling Climate Physics: challenges & climate sensivity studies
