Gilbert, who currently serves as director for the Heliophysics Science Division at the NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, will join NCAR October 5.

UCAR is committed to improving our support for Black scientists and others who are from communities that are underrepresented in the geosciences.

The Front Range GigaPoP, which is operated and managed by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), and NevadaNet join CENIC, Link Oregon, and Pacific Northwest Gigapop (PNWGP) in offering their ultra-broadband research and education telecommunications networks and services to support the COVID-19 Western States Pact.

After careful consideration, UCAR has decided on a temporary closure of its Colorado campuses to protect its employees and slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community.

Construction starts this month on a major NCAR facility, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), that will support aircraft flown on scientific field projects worldwide, leading to new advances in weather, climate, and air quality research.
