Spectacular in Boulder tonight.

Thanks Joe ! Your visit to our lab was a big morale boost during a turbulent time. Thanks for reaching out to us ! (And the donuts were great too)

Rep. Joe Neguse@neguse.house.gov · 10mo ago

Grateful for the opportunity to visit with the hardworking folks at NOAA in Boulder & drop off some breakfast items. As we grapple with the Republican-initiated government shutdown, I hope you’ll join me in thanking & supporting the Federal workers being impacted — we owe them a debt of gratitude!

Dear NOAA: Thank You

To my fellow NOAA employees—especially those of you who are departing in 2025—thank you! When I look back on my childhood dream and see how much of it came true and even surpassed what I dreamed of—it brings tears to my eyes. I owe so much of it to you. Your initiative, exploration, and discovery. Thank you for your service and Godspeed wherever life takes you.

We said goodbye to 6 long term, highly valued colleagues at the NOAA Chemical Sciences Lab yesterday. Andy Langford, Jim Roberts, Wayne Angeline, Bob Portman, Cathy Weable, Jeanne Waters. All retired earlier than planned to spare other jobs. It’s just not the same lab today.

In a bit of more positive news, I finished the Boston marathon last Monday in 3:23. Now, 5 days later, I am finally recovered enough to post it !

Clouds darkening over NOAA research. We are slated for elimination in next years budget. Astonishing loss to the nation and the world if it happens.

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency. Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

Our NOAA probationary feds were re-fired today. Taken off administrative leave, no salary, no health care. I feel increasingly powerless.

Thanks Joost de Gouw for supporting NOAA

Great turnout for demonstration in Boulder

Climate, energy agencies bring back probationary employees

The moves were in response to recent court decisions, the administration said.

More NOAA Employees May Be Let Go, Making 20% of Staff Cut

Together with recent firings and resignations, the new cuts could hamper the National Weather Service’s ability to produce lifesaving forecasts, scientists say.

I just lost two close colleagues at NOAA to this afternoon’s firings of probationary employees. I am lost and heartbroken.

Very serious indeed. Not good for agency or lab morale, to say the least. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

E&E News: Trump team weighs drastic cuts to NOAA staff

Mass layoffs at the climate and weather agency would have a ripple effect across the U.S. economy, say former NOAA officials.

The US Constitution does not grant the President this unilateral authority. In Illinois, we will stand against unlawful actions that would harm millions of working families, children, and seniors.

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion

The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

Great week at the American Meteorological Society meeting. Multiple presentations on field work from the Tropospheric Chemistry and Atmospheric Remote Sensing Groups. Ilana Pollack, Nell Schafer, Emily Lill (CSU) and Brian Carroll pictured here.

Nice work from the de Gouw group on the 2021 Marshall fire. The impact is still being felt in our community in Colorado.

Joost de Gouw@gouwlab.bsky.social · 2y ago

After the Marshall Fire in 2021, there were many questions from residents about the environmental impacts: did the smoke from the fire leave a lasting impact on air quality and health? And how could people protect themselves? Yesterday our groups published 2 papers on this topic. #MarshallFire
