Dr.
Ole Humlum
Dr.
Humlum is Professor of Physical Geography at the Institute of Geosciences, University of Oslo, Norway. He is also an Adjunct
Professor of Physical Geography at the University Centre in Svalbard. His areas of research include glacial and periglacial
geomorphology, with emphasis on the climatic control in cold-climate high relief areas, past as well as present. His research
has also included climate variability, ice sheet and glacial environments and mapping of Arctic and Antarctic temperature
changes.

Dr. Natarajan Venkatanathan
Dr. Venkatanathan received
his Ph. D. in Earthquake Prediction from University of Madras and has been involved in the field earthquake prediction research
for the past 10 years. Repercussions from the 2001 Bhuj, India earthquake catapulted him into this field of research. He has
developed a model using Geo – Astrophysical parameters (GAP Modeling) for the prediction of earthquakes. Currently he
is focusing on earthquake prediction by correlating GAP modeling with the appearance of out-going long wave radiation (OLR)
anomalies. At present, he is teaching physics and seismology at SASTRA University in Thanjavur, India.

Dr. Fumio Tsunoda
Dr. Tsunoda is professor
emeritus at the National Saitama University, Japan. He holds a PhD in Geology from the University of Tokyo. He is a leading
expert on the volcanic and seismic history and science of Japan and has specialized in geothermal processes deep within the
Earth as causes for these events. He has had thirty five peer reviewed papers and sixteen books in the field.

Dr. Leo (Lev) Maslov
Dr. Maslov holds a Doctor
of Science in Mathematical and Physical Sciences, from the Technical University in Russia, a Doctor of Science in Geophysics
from the Academy of Sciences in Russia, and a Ph.D from the Insitute of Mines from the Academy of Sciences in Russia. He is
currently doing research while teaching at the Aims Community College in Greely, Co, USA. His extensive research has brought
him much recognition as a leader in the gravitational influence of the Moon and the Sun on the Earth's tidal effects and other
geodynamical processes.
