Elizabeth H. Gierlowski-Kordesch
Elizabeth H. Gierlowski-Kordesch is an associate professor of geological sciences at Ohio University (1989-present). She received a B.A. honors degree (1978) in geophysical sciences from the University of Chicago and an M.S. degree (1982) and Ph.D. (1985) in geological sciences from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. She then spent some  time in Germany learning the language as well as the geology of Europe and won a post-doctoral position at the Institut fŸr PalŠontologie at the Freie UniversitŠt of Berlin from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (1986-1988).
Dr. Gierlowski-Kordesch's research has always centered on limnogeology, especially the sedimentology of lake basin deposits. Her doctoral research detailed the sedimentology of the East Berlin Formation of the Hartford basin (Newark Supergroup) while her post-doctoral research centered on the nonmarine carbonate deposits of the Weald (Lower Cretaceous) of central Spain. Her more recent research involves the lacustrine/palustrine limestones within the Pennsylvanian cyclothems of the northern Appalachian basin and the carbonates of the Newark Supergroup. As one of the founders of the International Association of Limnogeology (IAL), Dr. Gierlowski-Kordesch has been involved in the Global Geological Record of Lake Basins (GGLAB) database and book series project from its inception through ICGP Project 219: Comparative Lacustrine Sedimentology in Space and Time and IGCP Project 324: Global Paleoenvironmental Archives in Lacustrine Systems
Kerry R. Kelts
Kerry R. Kelts is a professor in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Minnesota and has been director of the Limnological Research Center from 1990 to 2000. He has a B.A. in geophysics from the University of California (1967), and a Diplom (1970) and Ph.D. (1978) in geology from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich (ETH), where he developed a comprehensive program of lake sediment studies inspired by participation in three Deep Sea Drilling Legs (33, 51, 53). Following postdoctoral research on the Gulf of California (Leg 64) with the Deep Sea Drilling Project (1978-1980) and a fellowship at the University of Paris (1982), he continued as lecturer at ETH-ZŸrich where he initiated IGCP Project 219: Comparative Lacustrine Sedimentology in Space and Time . Dr. Kelts has been influential in recognizing the significance of lacustrine source rocks for hydrocarbon exploration, first with studies of South Atlantic marginal basins, then by organizing a special conference of the Geological Society of London (1985) on lacustrine petroleum source rocks, and finally in spearheading a strategic industry report on exploration of lacustrine basins in Africa, in addition to regular research expeditions in China from 1984-1993. He was the director of the Geology Group at the Swiss Federal Institute of Water Resources (1985-1988) and the first director of the National Climate Program of the Swiss Academy of Sciences (1988-1990). Dr. Kelts is currently the W. H. Bradley fellow and President of the International Association of Limnogeology (IAL) and author of over 85 scientific publications. He received the 1993 outstanding publication award from the Association of Earth Science Editors for the book "Climate? Our Future?"
