Dear Colleagues,
Happy spring to all of you! CPAESS is working hard on a strategic plan to formulate our goals for the coming five years. It is an exciting project, and we look forward to engaging you all in the process.
Performance appraisal season is upon us, and we will be reaching out to you for input on your progress this past year and your goals for the coming year.

I hope that you all were able to attend (virtually or in person) the UCP staff meeting this week, hosted by Bill Kuo. It was an informative meeting and if you missed it, it is available
at this website with your UCAS password:
I would like to congratulate
Brian Jackson
on his 25th anniversary,
Gyami Shrestha
on her graduation from the Graduate School USA - Executive Potential Program, and
Melanie Russ
for her completion of the UCAR Leadership Academy. The official graduation for the Leadership Academy was held last week at Center Green, and I participated in the ceremony - congratulation to Melanie on this important milestone!

20th Anniversary of US CLIVAR
|
For the past 20 years, US CLIVAR has addressed some of the most pressing research questions to observe, theorize, analyze, model, experiment, and synthesize our understanding of the climate system, particularly the great uncertainties related to the role of the ocean. Collaboration has been essential to making this progress happen. So throughout 2018, the US CLIVAR Project Office, in collaboration with the program's implementation bodies, funding agencies, and partners, will host events to bring together the community to celebrate the achievements over the years and build momentum for the future.

20th Anniversary of the U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Program
|
In 1998, the Carbon Cycle interagency Working Group (CCIWG) was formally constituted to coordinate efforts that 12 U.S. government agencies and departments now lead as part of the U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Program (established 1999). During the past 25 years, research organized and supported in part by the Program has greatly increased our understanding of the processes involved in, for example, the potential for enhanced decomposition of soil carbon as the climate warms, and the processes influencing carbon dioxide uptake in a warming ocean. Important components of this research are intensive, interagency coordinated field campaigns that unite in-situ, air-borne, and satellite-based observations…' (U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2017). UCAR staff have been part of the U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Program Office in Washington D.C. since its early beginnings, providing essential support to the CCIWG and co-leadership of coordinated communication science facilitation and networking activities under Program auspices, such as most recently, the 2nd State of the Carbon Cycle Report (SOCCR2) .
