Emeritus Faculty Notes
Charles W. (Chuck) Howe At the January 2008 annual meeting of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (AERE), Chuck was elected fellow of the association. AERE is the leading professional organization of economists in the sub-field of natural resource and environmental economics. He was commended for his pioneering work in the economic analysis of water development and management, both in the United States and in developing countries. His books on natural resource economics and benefit-cost analysis were long the standard graduate texts in those fields. Chuck was among those honored for work with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Governor Bill Ritter held a reception at the NCAR Mesa Lab on November 26, 2007, to honor the 20 Colorado scientists who had participated in the activities of the IPSS, which had been a co-recipient with Al Gore of the Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel award was for the collective efforts of the four IPCC panels that worked on the global warming analysis at five-year intervals, starting in 1990. Chuck was among those honored for his role as a lead author in the Third Assessment Report (Working Group II) five years ago.
