CHARLES E. KOLB is president and chief executive officer of Aerodyne Research, Inc. Since 1971, his principal research interests at Aerodyne have included atmospheric and environmental chemistry, combustion chemistry, materials chemistry, and the chemical physics of rocket and aircraft exhaust plumes. He has served on several National Aeronautics and Space Administration panels dealing with atmospheric chemistry and global change, as well as on five National Research Council committees and boards dealing with environmental issues. He served as vice chair of the Stockpile Committee from mid-1997 to mid-2000. From 1996 to 1999, he was atmospheric sciences editor for Geophysical Research Letters. In 1997, he received the Award for Creative Advances in Environmental Science and Technology from the American Chemical Society.

Received May 12, 1977. R. V. Gemmer was a National Research Council-National Aeronautics and Space Administration Resident Research Associate, 1975-77. M. L. Rosenberg is a Research Associate, San Jose State University, San Jose, CA 95192. 

B.S. in aerospace engineering from the University of Texas and an M.S. in aeronautics and astronautics and a Ph.D. in engineering mechanics from the University of Washington. He recently completed service on the Committee for Mine Warfare Assessment of the Naval Studies Board of the National Research Council. 

During the years I knew him, he was a very busy man. His administrative responsibilities were substantial, not only as Head of the Physics Department but also as an Associate Director of Research with broader concerns. He served the National Research Council as an active member of its Committee on Catalysis and the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics as a prominent member of its subcommittee on Lubrication, Friction and Wear. Those were heavy responsibilities during the years of World War II. He was a member of the Advisory Council of the American Institute of Physics and was an Associate Editor of the Journal of Applied Physics. He was active also on the Advisory Committee of the American Petroleum Institute s Research Project 44, which was a very active one during the war. Needless to say, he travelled a lot. In his spare time he led an active personal life. He lived on a small ranch in the countryside to the east of San Francisco Bay there he bred and rode horses he was also a skier and had a lively interest in photography and other visual arts. His wife was an accomplished sculptress and they had many friends in the world of the arts. 

He had been from 1945 to 1946 junior scientific officer in mathematics at the British Ministry of Aircraft Production, then for one year lecturer at the University of Manehester UK, from 1947 to 1952 research fellow at Imperial Chemistry Industries, then for three years senior lecturer in aeronautics at the University of Sydney. Meyer was from 1957 to 1959 associate professor of applied mathematics at Brown University, Providence RI, and there professor until 1964. He then joined the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York, from where he moved to the National Research Council until 1970. He was senior fellow of the Fluid Mechanics Research Institute, University of Essex UK, and in parallel professor of mathematics at University of Wiseonsin, Madison WI, frxim 1964 until his retirement in 1994. 

The Atlas and Catalogue of infrared sources in the Magellanic Clouds was prepared from data obtained with the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS). IRAS was developed and operated by the Netherlands Agency for Aerospace Programs (NIVR), the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the U.K. Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC).

Numerous publications have been devoted to reflectivity, especially in the visible. Although it is now quite old, this work deserves mention E. L. Krinov (Laboratory of aeronautical methods, U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences), Spectral Reflectance Properties of Natural Formations, National Research Council of Canada, Technical Translation TT-439 (translated by G. Belkov), Ottawa, 1953. 

Some commitments have been made by the manufacturing industry to keep that improvement trend in Europe, the goals set by the Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe (ACARE) are targeting an additional 50% improvement in fuel bum and associated C02 emissions in 2020, compared to 2000 performance. This should be done while reducing the perceived noise levels by 50% and the emissions of NOx by 80% over the same period. Comparable objectives are set in the US, through the different programmes running with the NASA for instance. 

Michael Thompson is currently Editor of the Royal Society s Philosophical Transactions (Series A). He graduated from Cambridge with first class honours in Mechanical Sciences in 1958, and obtained his PhD in 1962 and his ScD in 1977. He was a Fulbright researcher in aeronautics at Stanford University, and joined University College London (UCL) in 1964. He has published four books on instabilities, bifurcations, catastrophe theory and chaos, and was appointed professor at UCL in 1977. Michael Thompson was elected FRS in 1985 and was awarded the Ewing Medal ofthe Institution of Civil Engineers. He was a senior SERC fellow and served on the IMA Council. In 1991 he was appointed director of the Centre for Nonlinear Dynamics.
