UNCLOS Team of Academic Experts
In addition to our in-house professionals, C & C has assembled a team of academic experts on Law of the Sea Delimitation. These academic experts are available to offer opinions on boundary delimitations, to contribute scientific advice regarding survey requirements and to provide scientific expertise for data interpretation and presentation. A partial list of our team of academic experts on Law of the Sea Delimitation includes the following:
Dr. Manik Talwani
Dr. Talwani was the Senior Scientific Advisor for the U.S. and Iceland UNCLOS Delegations to the United Nations and formulated the boundary to which Iceland now claims. He is the former Director of the Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory and the 'HARC' Houston-Area Research Center. In addition, Dr. Talwani was a member of Elliott Richardson's Delegation to the UNCLOS during the 1970s. Dr. Larry Mayer
Dr. Mayer is the Director of the Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping at the University of New Hampshire and former Chair of the Ocean Mapping Group at the University of New Brunswick, Canada. He holds a Ph.D. in Marine Geology/Geophysics from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a B.S. from University of Rhode Island, magna cum laude, Honors program Geology. Dr. Mayer was a Visiting Professor, Dept. de Geologie Dynamique, University of Paris, Associate Professor of Oceanography, Dalhousie University, and Post-doctoral Research Associate at the Marine Physical Lab, Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
Dr. William U. Ludwig
Dr. Ludwig is a Geologist/Geophysicist with extensive experience in a wide variety of structural and stratigraphic settings, including the Arctic and Sub-Antarctic. At Lamont Geological Observatory of Columbia University, he spearheaded research projects involving the worldwide study of continental margins and their outermost economic zones. He was an advisor to the United Nations ECAFE Project in Asian offshore areas (CCOP), United States Delegation to the Law of the Sea, and the International Deep Sea Drilling Program. Dr. Ludwig was co-chief scientist of joint offshore exploration projects with scientists from Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Japan, South Africa and the former Soviet Union and onboard the HMAS DIAMANTINA during a survey of the NW Margin of Australia. Offshore shelf areas that have been evaluated by Dr. Ludwig include Angola, Nigeria, Columbia, the Kodiak Chukchi and North Slope of Alaska.
Dr. John E. Hughes Clarke
Dr. Clarke is the Chair of the Ocean Mapping Group at the University of New Brunswick, Canada. He holds an MSc in Oceanography from Southampton University and a PhD in Oceanography from Dalhousie. John is an expert on mapping issues and developed the UNCLOS Specifications for Land Information New Zealand's Mapping Program, which included design, coverage, accuracies, times and costs.

Ron Macnab
Ron Macnab's current position is with the Geological Survey of Canada, where he works with the scientific and technical preparations necessary for developing the outer limit of Canada's juridical continental shelf, according to the provisions of Article 76 of UNCLOS. After a brief stint in underwater acoustics at the Defense Research Establishment Atlantic, he joined the Bedford Institute of Oceanography where he participated in a succession of projects, notably in ocean mapping and regional geophysical compilations. Involvement in these tasks has prompted his active participation in several international initiatives for developing coherent marine databases that are suitable for regional investigations related to UNCLOS.
