James Edward Hansen (born 29 March 1941) is an American adjunct professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Columbia University.
 He is best known for his research in climatology, his 1988 Congressional testimony on climate change that helped raise broad awareness of global warming, and his advocacy of action to avoid dangerous climate change.
 In recent years he has become a climate activist to mitigate the effects of climate change, on a few occasions leading to his arrest.
Mark Zachary Jacobson (born 1965) is a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University and director of its Atmosphere/Energy Program.
 Jacobson develops computer models to study the effects of different energy technologies and their emissions on air pollution, weather, and climate.
 He has performed influential research on the role of black carbon and other aerosol chemical components on global and regional climate and is regarded as a leading aerosol climate modeler.
 In a 2001 highly cited paper in the Journal Nature, Jacobson posited that black carbon, which is emitted during fossil fuel, biofuel, and biomass burning, may be the second leading cause of global warming after carbon dioxide in terms of direct radiative forcing.
 For this and related work, he received the 2005 American Meteorological Society Henry G. Houghton Award for “significant contributions to modeling aerosol chemistry and to understanding the role of soot and other carbon particles on climate” and a 2013 American Geophysical Union Ascent Award for “his dominating role in the development of models to identify the role of black carbon in climate change.”
James Edward Rothman (born November 3, 1950) is an American biochemist.
 He is the Fergus F. Wallace Professor of Biomedical Sciences at Yale University, the Chairman of the Department of Cell Biology at Yale School of Medicine, and the Director of the Nanobiology Institute at the Yale West Campus.
 Rothman is also concurrently serving as adjunct professor of physiology and cellular biophysics at Columbia University.
 and a research professor at the Institute of Neurology, University College London (UCL).
 Rothman was awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, for his work on vesicle trafficking (shared with Randy Schekman and Thomas C. Südhof).
 He has also received many other honors, including the King Faisal International Prize in 1996, the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize from Columbia University and the Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research both in 2002.

Wendee M. Wechsberg (born in Miami, Florida) is an American social science researcher.
 Wechsberg’s research focuses on developing and testing the efficacy of HIV prevention interventions among key populations of substance abusers globally.
 She is a recognized expert in the fields of substance abuse, gender inequality, and HIV.
 She developed the Women’s CoOp intervention, a woman-focused behavioral HIV intervention that incorporates gender- and culture-specific skills training.
 Wechsberg is a Principal Researcher and Director of the Substance Use, Gender, and Applied Research (SUGAR) Program at RTI International and Director of the RTI Global Gender Center.
 She is also Adjunct Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) Gillings School of Global Public Health, Adjunct Professor of Psychology at North Carolina State University (NCSU), and Adjunct Professor in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Duke University School of Medicine.
Tihomir Novakov, Ph.D known also as Tica Novakov (March 16, 1929 – January 2, 2015) was a Serbian-born American physicist.
 As a scientist, Novakov is known for his black carbon, air quality, and climate change research.
 James Hansen dubbed him "the godfather of black carbon."
The Center for the Study of Science and Religion (CSSR) is a center inside The Earth Institute at Columbia University.
 It "was founded in the summer of 1999 as a forum for the examination of issues that lie at the boundary of these two complementary ways of comprehending the world and our place in it.
 By examining the intersections that cross over the boundaries between one or another science and one or another religion, the CSSR hopes to stimulate dialogue and encourage understanding."
 The founder and director of CSSR is Robert Pollack, Professor of Biological Sciences and Adjunct Professor of Science and Religion at Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York and also Adjunct Professor of Religion at Columbia University.
Andrew P. Vayda is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Anthropology and Ecology at Rutgers University, an Adjunct Professor at Monash University and at the University of Indonesia, and Senior Research Associate of the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) in Bogor, Indonesia.
 Formerly a professor at Columbia University, he has taught also at the University of Indonesia and other Indonesian universities and at the University of British Columbia.
 He specializes in methodology and explanation at the interface between social and ecological science and has directed and participated in numerous research projects on people’s interactions with forests in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
 Currently he is taking part in a research project on causes of peat fires and their consequences in carbon emissions in the Indonesian province of Central Kalimantan.
 He has published some hundred articles and several books, including "Explaining Human Actions and Environmental Changes", a selection of his essays on explanation and explanation-oriented research in the social sciences and human ecology, published by AltaMira Press in 2009, and "Causal Explanation for Social Scientists: A Reader", co-edited by him and Bradley Walters, published by AltaMira Press in 2011.
 The journal, "Human Ecology", was founded by him, and he was its editor for five years.
 He serves at present on the editorial boards of Borneo Research Council Publications, "Forests", "International Journal of Indonesian Studies", and "Human Ecology".
 A festschrift in his honor, "Against the Grain: The Vayda Tradition in Human Ecology and Ecological Anthropology", with a concluding chapter by him on “Causal Explanation as a Research Goal,” was published in 2008 by AltaMira Press.
