Summary: In
this presentation, the speaker wishes to share
with us the following:
• Planet Earth
and Its Energy Balance (a Giant Climatological
"Heat Engine")
• Atmospheric
Compositions
• Other
Atmospheric Matters Which Also Modify the
Energy Balance (Aerosols, Albedo, Water Vapor,
Clouds, etc.)
• Earth
Temperature Measurements (the "Ice Hokey"
Temperature Curve)--Global
Warming
• Greenhouse
Effects , Greenhouse Gases
(GHGs)
• The History of
the Modern Weather Instruments and
Stations

of Global Weather Station
Network
• Paleo-climatological
Studies (Polar Ice Coring, etc.) &
Applicability (Natural and
Non-Anthropogenic)
• Emissions and
Concentrations of Carbon Dioxide, Methane,
Nitrogen Oxide, etc. (Natural vs.
Manmade)--Recent and Ancient
• Global Warming
Potential of GHGs – Natural vs.
Anthropogenic
• Emissions and
Concentrations of Water Vapor (Natural vs.
Manmade)
• Sources and
Sinks of Carbon Dioxide, etc. (Oceans vs.
Lands) and Accountability
• Vertical
Profiles of Carbon Dioxide, Ozone, Water Vapor,
etc.
• Inter-Hemispheric
Energy/Substance Transports (Northern vs.
Southern Hemispheres)
• Why Ozone Holes
Are Bigger in Southern
Hemisphere?

Presenter’s
Bio:
Dr. James
Whang, PhD, PE, received his BS degree
(Sanitary and Civil Engineering) from National
Cheng-Kung Univ., Taiwan, ROC and his MS and
PhD (Environmental Engineering) from Univ. of
Maryland. He is a registered Professional
Engineer (PE) in Environmental/Civil
Engineering since 1977. Dr. Whang
individually and together with his company has
been receiving numerous awards and honors in
the past 3 decades from the City of Rockville,
Montgomery County, Maryland State, local and/or
international associations, and U.S. Department
of the Navy (AEGIS Excellence Awards). He
was named as one of the top 25 CEOs in
Montgomery County in 2007 and has served as the
Chair of the Advisory Board for the Great
Washington, DC area of the International
Leadership Foundation in the past
years.
AEPLOG, Inc.
and its subsidiaries (including 3eTI), under
Dr. Whang’s leadership, have successfully
developed and commercialized several unique and
well marketed technology products, including
innovative environmental pollution control
technologies. Dr. Whang has authored more
than 100 technical papers and report in the
environmental engineering and science,
encompassing environmental compliance assurance
and audit, hazardous waste/material
minimization, control and/or remediation of
multi-media contamination problem; and
development and implementation of cleaner
“green technologies”. He has been
frequently invited to speak on professional
conferences including a participation of the
Energy Summit to organize, plan, and establish
the Maryland Clean Energy
Center.
Beside his
expertise in biomedical/biotechnology, he also
leads his organizations to have successfully
developed other specialty products including:
advanced composite materials; tele-monitoring,
tele-maintenance, distance-learning, distance
tech-assistance; microelectronic shock sensors;
wireless microelectronic sensors, virtual
instruments/interfaces, and internet/intranet
connectivity; radio-frequency identification
(RFID) chips for communication, safety
monitoring, and defense industries; which has
brought about positive impacts on national
defense/security, environmental security, and
selected industries. Dr. Whang was appointed as
an expert consultant on US Army Science Board
by the Secretary of US Dept.of Defense and the
Secretary of the US
Army.
