Letters in response to NSF DCL

The Earth science community in the US and beyond have submitted hundreds of responses to the NSF's Dear Colleague Letter urging the NSF to protect the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The NSF has said that these letters will not be made public. This page aims to publish as many as we can.

We currently have 43 letters. If you would like to share yours, please email wclivestream@proton.me. Also, see the statement from the UK's Royal Society, which calls on the US government to protect NCAR.

If you're inspired by these letters, please call your representatives and tell them to #SaveNCAR!
