AGU has an easy-to-use toolkit set for public feedback to proposed government actions. Now is a great time to respond to NSF’s proposed shuttering of NCAR. agu.quorum.us/campaign/154...
Share your comments on NCAR with NSF

We knew the NSF letter about NCAR would come. I think this is an occasion that will require great coordination and strategical thinking. UCAR should respond as a block, coordinating a response across universities (especially in the South, and large public universities that use NCAR data a lot)

I would strongly encourage those who value the scientific & societal legacies of NCAR to offer feedback by March 13. I would expect, under present circumstances, perspectives from industry partners will be especially critical, though everyone's voice is of course important.

Chris Piecuch shows how the rate of sea-level rise along the US coast has doubled since 1900, from 2 cm to 4 cm per decade. It has risen by 40 cm by now.
Here he briefly explains this (and how the DOE claimed the opposite) at the AGU25 meeting last week.
