speakers - International Conference on Climate Change
Harold Doiron
Retired NASA Scientist
Hal Doiron is the retired vice president for engineering of InDyne, Inc. As a young physicist, he joined NASA-Houston in 1963 and developed the Apollo Lunar Module landing dynamics software used to guide landing gear design for toppling stability and energy absorption performance, to develop landing techniques, and to support landing site selection. He performed docking dynamics studies for the Skylab Program and led the Space Shuttle team that successfully eliminated unstable vibration coupling of the shuttle structural dynamics and rocket engine thrust oscillations. After his 16-year NASA career, Doiron spent nine years at Reed Tool Co. developing advanced energy exploration drilling technology as manager of technical services, manager of systems engineering, and director of the Diamond Products Division. While a senior manager at McDonnell Douglas Space Systems, his team computed the onorbit vibration response of the International Space Station to dynamic events such as spacecraft docking, berthing, re-boost, and rocket plume impingement to define design limit loads and structural strength requirements. In retirement, Doiron is a consultant to NASA and commercial rocket developers.

Don Easterbrook
Professor emeritus of geology at Western Washington University
Don Easterbrook is professor emeritus of geology at Western Washington University. He holds B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Washington and has studied global climate change for five decades. He has written three textbooks and a dozen other books, published more than 185 papers in professional journals, and presented 30 research papers at international meetings in 15 countries. Easterbrook has been president of the Quaternary Geology and Geomorphology Division of the Geological Society of America, chairman of the 1977 national Geological Society of America meeting, U.S. representative to the United Nations International Geological Correlation Program, associate editor of the Geological Society of America Bulletin for 15 years, associate editor of the Geomorphology International Journal, and director of field excursions for the 2003 International Quaternary Association Congress. He received a national award for distinguished service to the Quaternary Geology and Geomorphology Division of the Geological Society of America, was a founding member of the American Quaternary Association, and founder of the Pacific Coast Friends of the Pleistocene. He has conducted geologic research in the North Cascade Range, Puget Lowland, and Columbia Plateau of Washington, in the Rocky Mountains, in the New Zealand Alps, in the Argentine Andes, and various other parts of the world.
