Douglas J. Nichols is a Scientist Emeritus with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and a Research Associate
with the Department of Earth Sciences of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees
in geology from New York University and his doctoral degree in geology from The Pennsylvania State University. His career has included
college teaching (Arizona State University and the State University of New York), the oil industry (Chevron USA Inc.), and research with
the USGS. He was with the USGS in Denver for 30 years. Doug is a palynologist, and his research interests are in the fossil pollen
and spores of Upper Cretaceous and Paleogene rocks of western North America and eastern Asia, with emphasis on biostratigraphy, paleoecology,
evolution, and extinction events. His research has taken him throughout North America and to China, Japan, and Mongolia. He is a past-president
of the American Association of Stratigraphic Palynologists and a Fellow of the Geological Society of America. Doug is author or coauthor
of more than 140 scientific papers and coauthor of the forthcoming book Plants and the K-T Boundary (Cambridge University Press). He
is a former editor of the journal Palynology and for fifteen years has been the North American Editor of Cretaceous Research.

G. Li, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Nanjing, China
I received my bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in palaeontology and stratigraphy from Peking University,
Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Heidelberg University of Germany, respectively. My research
interests are in palaeontology and stratigraphy of Mesozoic rocks of China. Recently, I pay more attention to the terrestrial ecosystem,
with special interests in fossil clam shrimps (conchostracans) of Jurassic and Cretaceous rocks in China, and with emphasis on biostratigraphy,
paleoecology and evolution.
R. Mortimore, University of Brighton, Brighton, UK
I have specialised in the Upper Cretaceous with particular emphasis on all aspects the Chalk of NW Europe
(stratigraphy, palaeontology, sedimentology and structural geology) and Upper Cretaceous tectonics more globally. I have also specialised
in the applied geology of the Cretaceous and Cenozoic deposits in Europe.
G. Price, University of Plymouth, Plymouth, UK
Gregory Price is a Reader at the University of Plymouth. He holds a BSc. (Geography and Geology) from
the West London Institute of Higher Education and an MSc. (1990) and PhD. (1994), from the University of Reading. His current research
involves isotope geochemistry, stratigraphy and climate change, particularly focussed upon Jurassic and Cretaceous successions within
the UK, Siberia, the Volga River and Svalbard as well as the early Cretaceous of Chile and Argentina. http://www.plymouth.ac.uk/pages/dynamic.asp?page=staffdetails&id=gprice
G. Wilson, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA
Greg Wilson, Ph.D. is a vertebrate paleontologist in the Department of Biology at the University of Washington
and adjunct curator at the Burke Museum. Before joining the faculty at the University of Washington at the end of 2007, he was a Curator
of Vertebrate Paleontology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. He completed his doctorate from the University of California,
Berkeley in 2004 and then served as a NSF postdoctoral fellow at the University of Helsinki. His research focuses on early mammalian
evolution and ecology in the context of continental breakup and the Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction. This work involves dental functional
morphology and paleontological and geological fieldwork in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Baja California, India, Niger, Ethiopia, and China.
