Jerald L. Schnoor
(
Chair
) is the Allen S. Henry Chair in Engineering, profes-
sor of civil and environmental engineering, professor of occupational and envi-
ronmental health, codirector of the Center for Global and Regional Environ-
mental Research, and faculty research engineer of the Iowa Institute of
Hydraulic Research - Hydroscience and Engineering. Dr. Schnoor's interests
are in water-quality modeling, environmental chemistry, and climate change.
His present research includes phytoremediation of groundwater contamination
and hazardous wastes, water observatory networks, global change, and sustain-
ability. Dr. Schnoor is editor-in-chief of
Environmental Science and Technology
.
He is a member of the US Environmental Protection Agency Science Advisory
Board, a member of the National Academy of Engineering, and a member of the
National Institute of Environmental Health Science National Advisory Envi-
ronmental Health Sciences Council. He has served on several previous National
Research Council committees, most recently as a member of the Committee on
Economic and Environmental Impacts of Increasing Biofuels Production. Dr.
Schnoor earned a PhD in civil (environmental health) engineering from the Uni-
versity of Texas.
Tina Bahadori
resigned from the committee on March 26, 2012, when she was
appointed the national program director for chemical safety for sustainability in
the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Research and Devel-
opment. While she served as a member of the committee, she was the managing
director for the American Chemistry Council's Long-Range Research Initiative
(LRI) program. In that position, she was responsible for the direction of the LRI,
which sponsors an independent research program that advances the science of
risk assessment for the health and ecological effects of chemicals to support
decision-making by government, industry, and the public. Before joining the
American Chemistry Council, she was the manager of Air Quality Health Inte-
