NOAA's Scientific Research Division Faces Elimination | JQJO

The Trump administration is reportedly proposing to eliminate the Oceanic and Atmospheric Research office at NOAA, slashing its budget from $485 million to just over $170 million. This would effectively end the office, impacting research crucial for disaster early warning systems, science education, and Arctic studies. While some research programs would be relocated, the drastic budget cut would severely hinder NOAA's scientific capabilities.
