Today is the deadline to respond to NSF's Dear Colleague Letter about restructuring NCAR -- there is still time to submit comments by emailing [email protected]! www.nsf.gov/funding/info...
It has warmed my hearth to see we have reached over 200 signatures here :) Thank you to everyone who has put their name down. As this is picking up steam, together with other initiatives, and with some UCAR representatives, we're trying to make sure this reaches the general public, congress & NSF.
Okay, who knows what happened to relative humidity in 2025?
A team of scientists from @tamu.bsky.social and NCAR (@ncar-ucar.bsky.social) has created an unprecedented set of high-resolution Earth system simulations that is freely available to the scientific community.

In a preprint, researchers from Princeton, Hong Kong U, & WRI find that the form of carbon removal called "bioenergy w carbon capture & storage," or BECCS, is "likely to produce higher emissions for decades than using natural gas without carbon capture."
This is a Big Deal because the IPCC...

Our new report, written in collaboration with the Carbon Removal Standards Initiative, presents a framework for policymakers to connect the dots between future net negativity and the practical decisions that underpin public investments in early-stage technologies.

Fellowship seeks early- to mid-career researchers based in America who are committed to science and public expertise
I'd love to talk to prospective postdocs who are thinking about the role of land in the climate system about applying! If that's you please reach out!

We already have over 40 signatures from US researchers and professors supporting NSF-NCAR and telling NSF to maintain control of the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputer with NCAR! Do sign and share.

CDR policies must align with a coherent vision of a net-negative world.
The next CLIVAR climate risk seminar is April 28 at 4 pm ET. We have two fantastic presentations on the schedule.

NCAR is the backbone of Earth system science in the US and a global leader in open climate research. It directly supports our mission. Alongside a wide range of peers in the scientific research community, we submitted a letter to NSF strongly opposing any efforts to dismantle or restructure NCAR.

Hey folks, tried putting together a letter in direct response to the NSF unprompted decision. Feel free to offer suggestion or to add your name as a signatory, and thanks to those that did it alredy! Current text follows (errors all mine!)...
As researchers and educators in the field of Earth System sciences, working on a range of topics ranging from air quality to epidemiology to severe weather to long term climatic changes, we call on NS...

I wish I had a good read on this, but I don’t and neither does anyone else right now. Definitely not good, but not clear how bad and how fast things could change now. Still time to respond to the DCL and say NCAR must stay together. If not for NCAR’s sake, for yours…
The U.S. National Science Foundation has informed the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) that management and operations of the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center are expected to…
