I am a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Civil Engineering at the Open University of Sri Lanka.

My main areas of teaching and research and coastal hydrodynamics and sediment transport, coastal zone management, extreme events, water pollution and sustainable sanitation. 

I have also been involved in several inter-disciplinary intiatives including the Land-Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone (LOICZ) project (www.loicz.org) and the establishment of the Master of Development Practice at the University of Peradeniya (http://www.pdn.ac.lk/arts/econ/mdp/index.htm).

I was an elected official in Santa Cruz County, California for twenty years. Now, I am an environmental attorney, "Of Counsel" to the law firm of Wittwer & Parkin.

Stan Bronson is a sixth generation Floridian, born in Orlando, with undergrad education done at Florida Southern College and grad work done at Florida Atlantic University and the University of Florida.  Spending most of his career in the citrus industry, 14 years of which was COO of Callery-Judge Groves, in 1999 he joined the extension faculty of the University of Florida, developing a natural resources education program for South Florida ecosystem restoration initiatives. That program has evolved into the Florida Earth Foundation, begun in January 2002.  FEF is a public-private partnership of over 70 agencies, universities, industries and not-for-profits, whose mission is to “put people together through education, outreach and facilitation to ensure the environmental integrity of Florida and quality of life.  Bronson now serves as Executive Director of Florida Earth, which administers Florida’s only permanent program with the United Nations, the UNESCO-IHE/Florida Earth Partnership and USNC, the US-Netherlands Connection Program, which is a knowledge exchange between the US and the Netherlands on climate change adaptation and water management.  Coming from a ranching family who supplied the land for Disney World in the 60’s, Stan’s love of the land has always been an inspiration throughout his career.

Leah is a published poet and human ecologist. Her interest in sea level rise and climate change adaptation is rooted in her studies at College of the Atlantic, where she earned a master’s degree in human ecology and a bachelor's degree in human ecology, with a strong applied emphasis on conservation biology and ecology and environmental law & policy. She focused her field work on island/wetland ecology and land conservation. She has ten years of experience in natural resources planning and conservation, writing about environmental programs, and 15 years of experience working with nonprofit organizations, where she has worn several different hats—including a Smokey the Bear “Stetson” at Acadia National Park.  She volunteered on a USGS watershed mapping study and wrote conservation plans for ANP while in graduate school. Leah focused her Master's thesis on land trust collaboration, gaining expertise in collaborative work groups (coalition-building, partnerships, peer-mentoring, mergers). Leah is also a member of the adjunct faculty at Southern Maine Community College and a member of the Lakes Region Writers Guild. She lives in the lakes region of southern Maine with her rescue gundog, Sophie-Bea, and two funny cats. Find her wetland poetry and "Strange Wetlands" posts at http://aswm.org/wordpress 

Nathaly Agosto Filión is honored to be joining the U.S. Climate & Environment Program Team in the role of Program Officer. Nathaly is passionate about practicing sustainability through environmental and social justice activism, personal behavior change, community organizing and civic engagement.

After studying ecology and outdoor education at the University of Vermont, Nathaly worked as environmental educator using New York City's parks and green spaces with the City Parks Foundation and Christodora, Inc. In shifting her attention to focus on the climate crisis, she took on the role of community organizer with Oxfam America’s Climate Justice campaign and interned with 350.org before returning to academia to complete a Master's degree in Natural Resources. Her graduate project, "Preparing and Adapting to Climate Change in Rural Dominican Republic: An Assessment of Community Preparedness for Lake Enriquillo Flooding," focuses on bridging the distance between national climate adaptation planning and community-level development priorities, especially in the context of disaster risk preparedness. Most recently, Nathaly has been consulting with the Climate Action Planning team of Burlington, Vermont to systemize and streamline municipal greenhouse gas emissions accounting.

Professional photographer, Robert van Waarden focuses on climate change photography and travel photography. His clean and traditional style has appeared in major national and international outlets.

Robert van Waarden believes in the power of photography to make a difference. He believes that through documentation of the social and natural world we can shift the world towards a more sustainable future.

His experience around the world, the people he has encountered, and the landscapes he has photographed have led him to turn his lens on the most important issue facing humanity, Climate Change. To this effect, he has spent the last years focusing on the social movements, particularly from the youth demographic, advocating change and documenting the geographical effects of a changing climate.

The trail of social movements and the human rights and adaptation issues facing the world because of a changing climate has led van Waarden across the planet. He has photographed three UN summits on Climate Change, coal plants in Tennessee, villages in the Arctic, G-20 protests, climate summits in Washington, DC and protests in South East Asia.

His list of publications include National Geographic Traveler, CNN, Canadian Geographic, the United Nations Environment Program, the Quebec Government, the British Council, Editora Globa, Casa Brutus, and numerous other magazines, NGO’s and non-profit publications.

Van Waarden’s images have appeared in exhibits across the globe. Of note are solo exhibitions in Royal Gallery, Amsterdam; Trafalgar Square, London; Parliament Hill, Ottawa; the British Embassy, Washington; the Cinema Planeta Film Festival in Mexico; Cairo, Egypt; Washington D.C; and the Banff Centre for Mountain Culture in Canada.
