NOAA atmospheric monitoring facility in Hawaii marks milestone:
The NOAA Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii marked its 50th anniversary as the premier atmospheric monitoring facility in the world.

Rare success at rearing native California rockfish, lab fish celebrate first birthday:
After more than a decade of studying rockfish reproduction, growth and development, California Sea Grant biologists have successfully reared brown rockfish from birth through their critical life stages.

Alaskan historic shipwrecks, including former Hassler, part of local and NOAA heritage:
Funded by a grant from the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration, researchers and archaeologists from Alaska's Office of History and Archaeology, NOAA's National Marine Sanctuary Program, and the University of Alaska Fairbanks descended under frigid southeast Alaskan waters between April 4-10, 2006, to collect information on several of Alaska's most famous shipwrecks.

Centering on people to save the environment:
Can smart growth save species? These and similar questions are at the heart of a new center at the University of Hawai‘i Sea Grant College Program (UH Sea Grant) that seeks to reduce the impacts of the human footprint on our natural environment.

Climate Prediction Applications Science (CPAS) Workshop:
Less than 10 days after the first rains fell since mid-October for Phoenix, AZ (a record dry spell of 143 days), the fourth annual Climate Prediction Applications Science (CPAS) Workshop met outside of Tucson for an intense three and a half days of presentations, panel discussions, posters, and dialogue on topics ranging from drought preparedness to water management and health and air quality.

NOAA Center of Excellence for Great Lakes and Human Health - Making strides in Forecasting, Partnerships, and Public Awareness:
With the summer months speedily approaching, residents of the Great Lakes Basin, as well as thousands of visitors from around the United States, are looking to the cool, refreshing waters of Great Lakes to relax, recreate, and rejuvenate.

The Office of Weather and Air Quality - Leading Partnerships in Weather Research:
“Everyone talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.” Thus goes a saying attributed to Mark Twain.

Witnessing the birth of an undersea mountain… and other exciting discoveries!:
Much of the South Pacific oceans remains scientifically unexplored. Even less is known about the undersea landscape of this tectonically active zone, and very few deep submergence research missions have occurred due to the limitations imposed by distance from land, water depth and availability of resources.

In search of the source of beach pollution, scientists monitor groundwater:
With NOAA support, two Stanford researchers will soon test a theory that may explain chronic beach pollution in California and elsewhere.

Congressional team takes an educational trip to observe climate and atmospheric research in Antarctica:
The Global Monitoring Division of NOAA's newly formed Earth System Research Laboratory operates atmospheric measuring instruments and facilities literally all over the world, mostly in very remote places far from big cities and seats of government.
