Presentation Transcript

  1. Research for a Resilient Planet innovate incubate integrate NOAA OAR Capt. Craig N. McLean Acting Assistant Administrator Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

  2. Grand Science Challenge Develop and apply holistic, integrated Earth system approaches to understand the processes that connect changes in the atmosphere, ocean, space, land surface, and cryosphere with ecosystems, organisms and humans over different scales.

  3. NOAA NEXT GENERATION STRATEGIC PLAN VISION Resilient Ecosystems, Communities, and Economies Weather-Ready Nation NOAA Resilient Coastal Communitiesand Economies Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Healthy Oceans An informed society anticipating and responding to climate and its impacts Marine fisheries, habitats, and biodiversity sustained within healthy and productive ecosystems Coastal and Great Lakes communities are environmentally and economically sustainable Society is prepared for and responds to weather-related events MISSION Science, Service, Stewardship

  4. NOAA ENTERPRISE OBJECTIVEScience and Technology A holistic understanding of the Earth system through research Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Accurate and reliable data from sustained and integrated Earth observing systems Weather-Ready Nation Healthy Oceans An integrated environmental modeling system Resilient Communities

  5. NOAA & ISET Science and Technology Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Weather-Ready Nation A holistic understanding of the Earth system through research Healthy Oceans Accurate and reliable data from sustained and integrated Earth observing systems An integrated environmental modeling system Resilient Communities

  6. NOAA’S ORGANIZATION & ADMINISTRATION ENTERPRISEDiverse and Constantly Evolving Capabilities in NOAA’s Workforce

  7. NOAA Functional Structure Simplified structure—Operating Branches only Craig McLean (A) Dr. Paul Doremus (A)

  8. NOAA’s ENGAGEMENT ENTERPRISE Strategic Engagement & Coordination “All parts of NOAA benefit from OAR’s work to incubate fundamentally new approaches to mission-centered science, a capability best sustained by maintaining a nimble, freestanding OAR line office.” -National Academy of Public Administration (Sept 2010) • OAR • Long-term mission-focused research • Multi-disciplinary subject matter expertise • Rapid response capability • Sustained infrastructure • Human capital • Promote collaborations with internal & external scientific community Sea Grant Colleges OAR EXTERNAL INTERNAL Climate Service Academia National Weather Service Private Sector National Marine Fisheries Service Cooperative Institutes National Ocean Service Interagency Partners International Partners National Environmental Satellite and Data Information Service EPP Partners

  9. STRENGTHENING SCIENCEInnovate, Incubate, Integrate Research across NOAA OAR innovate observations incubate understanding models integrate HOLISTIC & INTEGRATED transformational research INNOVATE Enable discovery, development and deployment of science INCUBATE Identify and foster long-term transformational research INTEGRATE Bridge research activities across NOAA and external partners

  10. TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENTSensors

  11. Holistic & Integrated CLIMATE CHANGE • Collapse of glaciers leading to sea level rise • Melting of Greenland ice sheet • Arctic ice modeling and observations • Release of large stores of high latitude carbon • Ocean changes • Ocean acidification • Changes in ecosystems

  12. OPPORTUNITIES FOR INNOVATION Renewable Energy

  13. NOAA-SUPPORTED Cooperative Institutes • Cooperative Institutes • 15 OAR • 3 NESDIS • 42 universities & research institutions • 23 states & DC

  14. NOAA Sea Grant College Programs 32 State Sea Grant Programs
