#NOAA webpages could be lost this weekend: we're assessing the scope of impacts to the NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration websites to help with resources to literally #saveourscience - this dismantling of #science has to stop. Please comment with suggested alternative web hosting options. Thank you Andrew Freeman at Axios for this reporting. #scienceisnationalsecurity https://lnkd.in/ggcsUES9

Championing Colorado's World-Class Federal Research Lab Ecosystem
关于我们
CO-LABS is a non-profit consortium of federal research laboratories & institutions, universities, colleges, businesses and economic development organizations that provide financial and in-kind support for programs that promote the retention and expansion of Colorado's scientific resources. From agriculture to aerospace, geology to GPS, infectious disease to quantum physics, even wildlife biology to ice cores (and more!) the range of crucial, world-class research in our state is astounding. Our members recognize the importance of science as a fundamental source of humanity's progress, as a limitless resource to provide insight and answers, and as a source of wonder that can awe and cause joy. Keeping our scientific research labs and institutes funded is a matter of pragmatism and national security as much as it is a matter of pride and inspiration. Did You Know: Federally-Funded research labs in Colorado contribute $2.6 billion/year to the state's economy and provide 17,000 direct and indirect jobs. Source: CO-LABS 2016 Economic Impact Study Through events, economic analyses, strategic communications and networking activities we work to: • PROMOTE Colorado as a global leader in research and technology • EDUCATE the public about the labs’ impact and importance of sustained funding for research • CONNECT the labs, universities and businesses to facilitate partnerships and technology transfer To learn more, visit www.CO-LABS.org.

Gregory Rieker, CTO of LongPath Technologies, Inc. (a great CO-LABS member) described the challenges of the vallies - not just "valley" - of death that companies must navigate, and how they worked with partners and investors (including a launch that happened right before COVID) to the Council on Competitiveness three-day Conversation in Boulder. Their precision #methane detection technology has its genesis in Nobel Prize winning research at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and JILA at University of Colorado Boulder; as he described their business evolution from the lab the theme of partnerships and related resources and ingenuity of bringing together various resources was evident, and was a theme we heard through the sessions of the three-day event from all the speakers. Did you know: LongPath Technologies, Inc. provides real-time continuous and quantitative emission rate data - and so far their projects with fossil fuel extraction entities have mitigated 6 BILLION CUBIC FEET of methane from being released into the #atmosphere.

Thanks to Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences director Waleed Abdalati for talking to Congress about how university partnerships with NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration protect lives and property, support our national security, and keep America competitive. Severe storm warnings, seasonal forecasts for farmers, fire weather forecasting using satellites and AI, space weather prediction, and more, make life better for all Americans #BeBoulder | University of Colorado Boulder

#DYK? Weather prediction is a vital part of national security efforts, and enhancing our nation’s security is a top priority at NSF NCAR. From the Global Climatology Analysis Tool (GCAT) that gives military leaders vital weather intel to Four-Dimensional Weather (4DWX) that improves weather predictions at Army test ranges, there are many scientific projects at NSF NCAR that support our military and national security.

Thank you Mike Freeman and the NSF ENGINES: Colorado-Wyoming Engine team and Deborah L. Wince-Smith, Chad Evans and Michael Nelson of the Council on Competitiveness for an extremely valuable Conversation over three days with leaders from federal labs, technology companies - particularly in #quantum computing, #climate science and #artificialintelligence as we mapped out opportunities and challenges to nurture the Colorado - Wyoming - New Mexico ecosystem. Following a compelling Sunday evening discussion on the culture of innovation in #Boulder by Mayor Aaron Brockett and Boulder Chamber President John Tayer, Colorado Governor Jared Polis joined us to launch a full day of expert presentations and valuable networking to build on the ideas that inevitably get going at a Council on Competitiveness event. We're grateful our Executive Director Dan Powers presented on economic impacts of federal labs and several key research programs in the quantum computing and climate resilience realms, and the insights from panelists Martin Keller, Director of National Renewable Energy Laboratory; Kristan Corwin, Division Chief at The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Mark Peters, CEO of MITRE with their insights to the collaborative strategies between the labs and their economic development and higher education partners. So many attendees contributed to this thoughtful event, and it has resulted in urgent calls to action around themes including advanced manufacturing investment, supply chain resiliency and workforce development, the need to nurture many more strategic collaborations (and retain/rebuild the Colorado culture of collaboration, thank you J. J. Ament for your inspiring words!) and a sobering call to invest in foundational research as well as growing companies to ensure future prosperity is not taken for granted. Important perspectives and data were shared by Eric Drummond J.D., Wendy Lea, Jessi Olsen, Parag Chitnis, Edward Seidel, Zachary Yerushalmi, Tanya Ramond, PhD MBA, Scott Davis, Gregory Rieker, Brian Lewandowski, John Mennel, Justin Schwartz, Kumar Garg, Douglas Johnson, Rajeeb Hazra, Eve Lieberman, Leslie Hielema, Josh Dorrell, Josh Miller, Amy Parsons, Paul C. Johnson, Ph.D., Patricia Falcone, Dan Foy, Lucy Sanders and many more! See more about the discussion agenda here: https://lnkd.in/g8HtnTAa We will have additional focused excerpts posted soon. #scienceisnationalsecurity

NSF NCAR - The National Center for Atmospheric Research #scientists help design codes for infrastructure #resilience: Winter weather wreaks havoc on infrastructure in a number of ways, including creating icing conditions that can cause widespread power outages. For example, in 2021, a severe winter storm immobilized infrastructure in Texas, leaving more than 4.5 million homes and businesses without power, some for several days. While there were several factors that led to the worst energy infrastructure crisis in Texas, power lines failing due to icing conditions were a significant contributor. In order to make communities less vulnerable, structures must be built with these types of extreme weather events in mind. Researchers at the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) National Center for Atmospheric Research #NCAR are collaborating with SUNY Polytechnic Institute to do just that by updating structural design standards on icing conditions. Together, they will update the “Icing” chapter in the seventh edition of the American Society for Civil Engineers codes and standards for infrastructure resilience (ASCE 7) that is slated to be published in 2028. #ASCE guides are an essential resource for #engineers, #architects, #construction professionals, and #building officials working on #loadbearing structures. The current ASCE guide for icing uses a very limited set of historical observations, with large gaps across the country where those observations are insufficient. NSF NCAR researchers will utilize advanced #climatemodeling tools to better reflect the #weather conditions across the country. #extremeweather #scienceisnationalsecurity https://lnkd.in/gWbg2uyh
