The 2026 budget passback plan calls for eliminating NOAA Research, the scientific backbone that keeps weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective. This would have disastrous consequences.

We have two 2-year VAP positions available in Environmental Science: one social science and one natural science. I’d love to see a geologist or hydrologist in the natural science role!
Are you an academic who studies & teaches about planetary health (global environmental change, ecotoxicology) and/or sustainability science? My department has a 2-year Visiting Assistant Professor position at the Emory U. (Atlanta GA) campus. faculty-emory.icims.com/jobs/145670/... 🎓💼

What is the difference between weather and climate. This #dataviz shows the "Central England" average temperature for periods ranging from 1 day (weather) to 30 years (climate). This shows the climate signal emerging. Note the varying y axis that covers the range of the data.
