TIMOTHY S. BASTIAN is assistant director of the Office of Science and Academic Affairs at the National
Radio Astronomy Observatory, where he has been an astronomer since 1987. He also is an adjunct faculty
member in the Astronomy Department at the University of Virginia. Dr. Bastian’s research interests include
solar and stellar radiophysics. He is currently the principal investigator for the Solar Radio Burst Spectrometer project and served on the faculty of the NCAR Summer School on Heliophysics. Dr. Bastian served
as scientific editor of the Astrophysical Journal. He received a B.S. in mathematics from the University of
Chicago and a Ph.D. in astrophysics from the University of Colorado. Dr. Bastian served on the 2003 NRC
Panel on the Sun and Heliospheric Physics.
JOE GIACALONE is an associate professor of planetary sciences at the University of Arizona. Prior to coming to the University of Arizona, Dr. Giacalone was a research associate at Queen Mary and Westfield College, London. His core research interests include understanding the origin, acceleration, and propagation
of cosmic rays and other charged-particle species in the magnetic fields of space, and general topics in
space plasma physics and astrophysics. He develops physics-based theoretical and computational models
that are used to interpret in situ spacecraft observations. Dr. Giacalone is a recipient of the NSF’s Early
CAREER award. He currently serves as a member of NASA’s Living With a Star TR&T Steering Committee
and as secretary for the SPA/SH subdivision of the AGU. Dr. Giacalone earned his Ph.D. in physics from
the University of Kansas. He has also served on a NASA senior review panel for NASA Data and Modeling
Centers and on the Steering Committee for NSF’s SHINE program.
GEORGE M. GLOECKLER is distinguished university professor, emeritus, University of Maryland, and
research professor in the Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Sciences Department at the University of
Michigan. Dr. Gloeckler’s research focuses on space plasma physics, particularly the properties of the local
interstellar medium, such as its magnetic field, the density and composition of its gas, and its interaction
with the solar system. He is known for developing a new experimental measurement technique based on
observations of interstellar pickup ions and for pioneering discoveries and the invention of instruments
carried on satellites and deep-space probes, including the two Voyagers, Ulysses and Cassini. Elected to
the NAS in 1997, Dr. Gloeckler is also a fellow of the AGU and APS and a recipient of the COSPAR Space
Science Award. He earned his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Chicago. Dr. Gloeckler has served
on the NRC’s Committee on Fusion Science Assessment, the Committee for a Review of Scientific Aspects
of the NASA Triana Mission, and the Committee on Solar and Space Physics.
JOHN W. (JACK) HARVEY is an astronomer at the National Solar Observatory (NSO), where he studies solar
magnetic and velocity fields and helioseismology. Dr. Harvey’s major efforts have been in the design and
development of instrumentation for community use in these research areas. His more recent research has
focused on unambiguous observations of permanent magnetic field changes associated with solar flares,
discovery that the quiet solar photosphere has a ubiquitous, rapidly changing, mainly horizontal magnetic
field, and solar chromospheric magnetic field structure associated with coronal holes and prominences. Dr.
Harvey is a member of the NSO Scientific Personnel Committee, instrument scientist for the GONG project,
and project scientist for the SOLIS project. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Colorado, Boulder.
In the outside community, Dr. Harvey serves on NASA and NSF review panels and is a past co-editor of
the journal Solar Physics. He chaired recent reviews of solar programs in Japan and Switzerland. Dr. Harvey has served on the Committee on Solar and Space Physics, as well as other NRC panels and projects.
RUSSELL A. HOWARD is an astrophysicist at NRL. Dr. Howard’s research has centered on understanding
the physics of the solar corona and the coronal mass ejection phenomenon—its initiation, propagation,
