Herzog Family Chair of Environmental StudiesDr. Warren holds degrees in meteorology (B.S. from Cornell University) and energy and resources (M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley). She has taught at UC Berkeley, Emory University in Atlanta, GA, and Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN.
Dr. Warren's specialties and areas of research include: climate and global change, mathematical modeling and validation, and energy and environmental policy. She has studied ecosystem and soil response to climate manipulations, use of mathematical models in climate studies, and transport of heat and water through soils. Current areas of research include local water issues and global climate change, and design of climate-sensitive energy policy.

Dr. Gilstrap has degrees from Sofia University (M.S.) and the Georgia Institute of Technology (Ph.D.), and has taught at the Georgia Institute of Technology, as well as middle and high school in Bulgaria. As a geophysicist, Dr. Gilstrap is interested in applying geophysical methods to study the upper 100m of the Earth's subsurface, an area of research also known as near-surface geophysics. At Randolph College, Dr. Gilstrap teaches classes in environmental science methods, introductory physics and lab, and introduction to geology and lab.

Dr. Barnes holds degrees from Vanderbilt University (B.A.) and the University of Wisconsin (M.A., Ph.D.). At the University of Wisconsin, Dr. Barnes studied social psychology and environmental psychology, thereby furthering his interest in exploring how people create and respond to their social and physical environments.
Among other psychology courses, Dr. Barnes teaches courses in environmental psychology, focusing on the relationship between people's behavior and significant environmental issues such as pollution, energy use and waste management.
Dr. Barnes is the Chair of the Environmental Issues Council, and has served as an advisor to the Lynchburg City Planning Office on Environmental Planning and Design.
