D. Keith Wilson is a Research Physi- cal Scientist with the U.S. Army En- gineer Research and Development Center in Hanover, NH. He received a PhD in Acoustics from the Penn- sylvania State University in 1992 and was a research fellow at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. His
research spans many topics related to wave propagation, tur- bulence, remote sensing, statistics, and simulation. He is an Associate Editor of the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, a fellow of ASA, a Lindsay Award recipient in 1997, and a member of the American Meteorological Society and Institute of Noise Control Engineering.
Chris L. Pettit, PhD, PE is an As- sociate Professor in the Aerospace Engineering Department of the United States Naval Academy and an Adjunct Research Professor in the Department of Civil and Environ- mental Engineering at Carleton Uni- versity, Ottawa, ON, Canada. Prior to joining the USNA faculty, he was a
Senior Research Aerospace Engineering in the Air Vehicles Directorate of the United States Air Force Research Labora- tory. His research interests include uncertainty quantifica- tion, sensitivity analysis, and reduced-order modeling meth- ods in computational mechanics. He is an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
Dr. Vladimir Ostashev is a Senior Research Scientist at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environ- mental Sciences (University of Colo- rado Boulder) and a Government Expert for the Engineer Research and Development Center. He re- ceived a PhD degree in physics from the Moscow Physics and Technology
Institute in 1979. His undergraduate and graduate advisor was Prof. Valerian Tatarskii. In 1992, Dr. Ostashev received a degree of Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences from the Acoustics Institute, Moscow. He is a Fellow of ASA, and an Associate Editor of the Journal of the Acoustical Soci- ety of America and JASA Express Letters.
