Members of the Executive Committee include the Associate Directors of CIRES’ six divisions, two Fellows elected at-large for two-year terms (renewable for one term) and two Members’ Council members. The Associate Director for Administration, Associate Director for Science and the Director’s Administrator are ex-officio members of the committee. Career Track Committee This committee is charged with consideration of all nominations for promotion within the CIRES career tracks of Research Scientist, Associate Scientist and Administrative Associate. Nominations are made once yearly, and the committee’s recommendations are forwarded to the Director for consideration and action. Distinguished Lecture Series Committee This lecture series was created to bring in outstanding scientists and innovative thinkers who have given thoughtful consideration to environmental and Earth system science issues. The committee and CIRES administrative staff schedule the guest lecturers and host them during their visit. 12 CIRES Annual Report 2011 n Joost de Gouw CIRES Senior Research Scientist, ESRL CSD n Lisa Dilling Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies n Randall Dole Deputy Director for Research, ESRL PSD; Associate Director of CIRES’ Weather and Climate Dynamics Division n David Fahey Research Physicist and Program Lead, Atmospheric Composition and Chemical Processes, ESRL CSD n Christopher Fairall Chief, Weather and Climate Physics Branch, ESRL PSD n Lang Farmer Professor, and Dept.

New Fellow nominations are considered by the Council of Fellows once yearly, drawing from the community of scientists at the University of Colorado at Boulder and NOAA. Cases for appointment of new Fellows are presented to the Council of Fellows by a committee of three or more Fellows. The initial appointment of any new CIRES Fellow is for two years, and continuing-term reappointments are for five years. Qualifications for reappointment are the same as for the initial appointment, except that the established record of the appointee must show evidence of commitment to the affairs of CIRES. Innovative Research Program Committee This program is designed to stimulate a creative research environment within CIRES and our NOAA partner organizations, and encourage synergy between disciplines and research colleagues. The intent is to provide an uncomplicated mechanism for supporting small research efforts that can quickly provide concept viability. The committee reviews all the research proposals and recommends to the CIRES Director for funding those that are the most inventive and bridge boundaries between traditional disciplines. The number of awards each year depends upon the funds available and funds requested.

The fellowships are competitively awarded to new or existing CIRES-affiliated graduate students. Visiting Fellows Committee This committee is responsible for the review of all applications for CIRES Visiting Fellowships. The committee chooses those best qualified for a sabbatical or postdoctoral fellowship, and submits that slate to the Fellows Council for final discussion and selection. Special Committees Additional special committees are appointed as needed by the Director. These include Faculty Search committees, the University Academic Review and Planning Advisory Committee, award committees, tenure-consideration committees, and others. They are created as a need arises, exist to accomplish a specific task, and are then disbanded. Diversity Committee Recent studies highlight that fewer underrepresented minorities are pursuing careers in science, especially in higher education. To increase diversity is a major challenge we face today as scientists and educators, and CIRES has made it a priority to extend our knowledge n Susan Solomon Senior Scientist and Program Lead, Chemistry and Climate Processes, ESRL CSD n Konrad Steffen Professor of Geography; Director of CIRES n Margaret Tolbert Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry; Co-Associate Director of CIRES’ Environmental Chemistry Division n William Travis Associate Professor of Geography; Director of the Center for Science and Technology Policy Research n Greg Tucker Associate Professor of Geological Sciences n Veronica Vaida Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry n Rainer Volkamer Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry n John Wahr Professor of Physics n Carol Wessman Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology; Associate Director of CIRES’ Ecosystem Science Division and our community to include more of the diverse ethnic groups that make up society, and with a better gender balance. Toward that end, the Diversity Committee was created in 2010 to help achieve this goal. This initiative is headed by Eduardo Araujo-Pradere of the Space Weather Prediction Center along with Executive Assistant Yvonne Garcia and Associate Director for Administration Jon Rush. They work with CIRES Education and Outreach, the Communications Group, and scientists and staff to help identify opportunities for CIRES to make a difference in this vital work to enrich our science and enhance our mission. Members’ Council n Tingjun Zhang CIRES Senior Research Scientist in the National Snow and Ice Data Center Emeritus Fellows n Susan Avery Former CIRES Director; Former Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering n Roger Barry Distinguished Professor of Geography; Director, World Data Center for Glaciology n John Birks Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry. n Doug Robertson Retired NOAA National Ocean Service, National Geodetic Survey n Hartmut Spetzler Professor Emeritus of Geological Sciences Fellow Affiliate n Ray Fall Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry The CIRES Members’ Council was created in 1997 to act as an information and policy conduit between CIRES leadership and the Institute members (Associate Scientists, Research Scientists and Administrative Associates). To accomplish this in the most effective manner, the CIRES membership was divided geographically into six groups of approximately equal size. Each group is represented by two people, preferably from two different classifications in the CIRES career track. From this council of twelve, two representatives to the CIRES Council of Fellows and Executive Committee are elected. These two representatives serve as the liaison between the Council of Fellows/ Executive Committee and the Members’ Council. The Members’ Council, which meets monthly, then serves as a direct line of communication to the Member population at large. CIRES Annual Report 2011 13
