The first U.S. drought monitor of February was released Thursday, showing dismal results for the Carolinas.

One of the world’s leading climate research institutions – the National Center for Atmospheric Research, or NCAR – has been headquartered in Boulder since the 1950s.

Leveraging the power of two of the nation’s leading supercomputers, a team of scientists at Texas A&M University and the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) has created an unprecedented set of high-resolution Earth system simulations.

Mississippi plays key role as NASA's Artemis II mission nears launch.

After facing monumental challenges in 2025, NASA and the space science community have now landed in 2026 with a Senate-confirmed Administrator, a full budget, and a full calendar of events.

From Huntsville to Houston, the space industry in the US is rooted in the South. And as NASA works towards returning to the moon with the Artemis program, our space history is inspiring new generations of Americans. But in North Carolina, two important sites from the Space Race of the 1960s remain relatively unknown.

Two representatives from NASA have joined the team of U.S. Drought Monitor authors. The monitor is hosted by the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and produced through a partnership between the drought center, U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and now NASA.

The NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center (NWSC) opened its doors in Cheyenne, Wyoming, in 2012. Since then, more than 4,000 users from more than 575 universities and other institutions across the nation and overseas have used its advanced computing and data storage resources for research in the Earth system sciences.

The NOAA strategy being developed will give commercial data providers a longer-term view of NOAA’s needs than the current program, which relies primarily on five-year indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts.

In a letter published Jan. 23, the National Science Foundation asks for ideas to redistribute NCAR’s core functions — such as weather modeling and predicting electromagnetic solar storms — into different institutions.

Five ways dismantling NCAR will cost the American people, and two ways to save it.

The Hurricane Hunters are flying into this weekend's winter storm to gather data, aiming to enhance forecasts for potential widespread icing and community impacts.

The legacies of Walt Roberts and NCAR, and Boulder’s broader research ecosystem, are threatened today like never before.

As weather patterns are shifting as the global climate warms, and scientists are working to understand those changes. Such research is crucial because it is the first step toward even more accurate weather forecasts.

A new partnership between K-State's Institute for Digital Agriculture and Advanced Analytics and Kelly Hill Unmanned Systems aims to leverage each others strengths.

Kansas City emerges as a contender to lead America’s critical materials future through innovation, workforce development and regional collaboration.

NASA's Landsat satellites are helping oyster farmers in Maine see which coves run warmer or cooler from space.

Advocates for space science research are concerned about job losses and cuts to funding at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville.

NCAR is an essential nerve center for science in America. The White House intends to dismantle it.

NCAR is managed by a nonprofit consortium called the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, which consists of over 130 universities and colleges.

Russell Vought, the White House budget director, called the laboratory a source of “climate alarmism.”
