Lorene Lynn was on the ExCom as the website manager. Now she is a consulting soil scientist who specializes in permafrost dynamics and tundra ecology. She primarily works for oil and gas clients in the arctic and for mining and government clients throughout Alaska. Previously, she worked for the NRCS soil survey and the USFWS. Her graduate studies on coastal erosion along the Beaufort Sea Coast of Alaska sparked a career in which she never experiences heat, instead working in a parka in the arctic in the months most people associate with summer.
