Jim Barnes, IUB, has been reappointed to the Department of Energy's Environmental Management Board by Secretary Samuel Bodman. The board provides advice to DOE concerning the management of hazardous and radioactive materials at DOE facilities as well as the remediation of problems from past disposal or management activities at those sites. He also has been named to a National Academy of Public Administration Panel headed by LSU President Sean O'Keefe that was established pursuant to a Congressional request to assess and make recommendations to Congress and the Corps of Engineers concerning the methods/processes the Corps uses to prioritize its water resource projects. Serious concerns have been raised about the Corps priorities following Hurricane Katrina last fall.
Sebastien Dusanter, Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow, IUB, Deepali Vimal, Ph.D. student in Environmental Science, IUB, and Phil Stevens, IUB, were invited to participate in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA) measurement campaign in Mexico City during March 2006, with support from the National Science Foundation and the Molina Center for Energy and the Environment (http://mce2.org). MCMA was one of four components of MILAGRO (Megacity Initiative: Local And Global Research Observations), a coordinated field campaign designed to measure the impact of megacities such as Mexico City on regional air pollution and global climate change (http://catalog.eol.ucar.edu/milagro/). They will present their preliminary measurements of OH radical concentrations in Mexico City at the first MILAGRO science team meeting October 23-25 in Boulder, Colorado.
