Background/History of the Laboratory:
NOAA Research has consolidated the six
organizations of NOAA Research in Boulder, Colo., into a single center -
The Earth System Research Laboratory. This consolidation substantially improves the research and execution
of
the organizations by having four more-focused Divisions - Global Monitoring, Physical Sciences, Chemical
Sciences, and Global Systems - and a more effective and coordinated management structure. The consolidation
also will result in better integration of science through the development of research and technology
themes that
are being developed across Divisions.
Mission of the Laboratory:
The Earth System Research Laboratory's mission is to observe
and understand the Earth system and to
develop products through a commitment to research that will advance the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration's (NOAA's) environmental information and services on global-to-local scales.
The work at the Earth System Research Laboratory includes:
