On March 6, a team of scientists on the NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown departed from Suape, Brazil for a 55-day cruise to the northerly waters of Reykjavik, Iceland. With 150 planned stops along this cruise track known as A16N, measurements of heat, freshwater, carbon, oxygen, and nutrients will be taken from the ocean’s surface to the seafloor, sometimes reaching depths greater than 5,000 meters (3.1 miles)!

Ajani Bakari interviews Dr. James Marshall Shepherd, as part of a NOAA Research Black History Month profile. In it, Dr. Shepherd discusses his passions as a scientist, his challenges as an African American meteorologist, thoughts on mentorship, and provides his perspective on the importance of NOAA’s role to society. Dr. Marshall Shepherd is an American meteorologist, professor at the University of Georgia's Department of Geography, director of the university's atmospheric sciences program, and 2013 president of the American Meteorological (AMS). Dr. Shepherd has worked with NOAA in various advisory roles, including as a member of NOAA’s Science Advisory Board. He is also host of the Weather Geeks podcast.

To celebrate Women’s History Month, we asked women throughout NOAA Research who make lasting impacts in scientific research, leadership, and support from the field to the office to share how their work contributes to NOAA’s mission of Climate Resilience and preparing for a Climate-Ready Nation. This article highlights an interview with Sara Morris, a physical scientist and team lead for the Atmospheric Measurement Network under the Observatory Operations Division at NOAA’s Global Monitoring Laboratory (GML).

To celebrate Women’s History Month, we asked women throughout NOAA Research who make lasting impacts in scientific research, leadership, and support from the field to the office to share how their work contributes to NOAA’s mission of Climate Resilience and preparing for a Climate-Ready Nation. This article highlights an interview with Jennifer McWhorter, a physical oceanographer at the NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory who mainly conducts research using the Biogeochemical Argo array in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Department of Commerce’s U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) today announced a collaboration to promote and advance further innovation in climate and “green” technology areas, a key focus of the Biden administration.
The Women in the Sciences Leadership Workshop is an opportunity for scientists (e.g., graduate students to senior scientists) and those that work with scientists, to interact with each other, build new networks, and develop important skill sets. The program highlights emotional intelligence, leadership styles and individual strengths. The workshop fosters communication among researchers (both academic and Federal), non-profits, and private industry across all fields of science.
