Erland M. Schulson, Dartmouth College, New Hampshire
Erland M. Schulson completed his Ph.D. at the University of British Columbia, and is the George Austin Colligan Distinguished Professor of Engineering at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire. He has worked on physical metallurgy, materials science and ice mechanics in laboratories and universities in Canada, France, the USA and the UK. He has served as a Fellow of the Minerals, Metals and Materials Society and of ASM International, and been listed in ISI as a highly cited researcher in materials science. He holds four patents in the field, has published over 250 papers in international technical literature, and has been invited to lecture at over 100 conferences, workshops and research centres.

Paul Duval, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Paris
Paul Duval completed his Ph.D. at the University of Grenoble, and has been a Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) Research Scientist in the Laboratory of Glaciology and Geophysics of the Environment since 1969. His areas of research include ice physics and mechanics, glaciology and materials science. His studies on densification of snow have been developed with applications in paleoclimatology, and he has recently worked on the viscous behaviour of the ice on Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. He has published over 100 refereed papers in international journals.
