climate sub cabinet comes together
Gov. Sarah Palins sub-cabinet on climate change is now complete. The University of Alaska picked its vice chancellor for research in Fairbanks, Buck Sharpton, as its representative to the new group, which also includes the commissioners of the departments of environmental conservation, natural resources, fish and game, commerce, and transportation (or their designees) and Palins representative in Washington, DC.DEC Commissioner Larry Hartig will lead the group.
Sharpton came to the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 1998 as faculty at the Geophysical Institute and the Department of Geology and Physics. He was named to his current position last May, and now helps the chancellor set UAFs research agenda. He oversees the Geophysical Institute, the International Arctic Research Center, the Institute of Arctic Biology, and other research programs. Click here for a fuller bio.
The sub-cabinets first meeting is scheduled for May 22.
