The NSF NCAR Explorer Series brings world-class research to students, educators, and the public by connecting you directly to NSF NCAR researchers through free-of-charge presentations, videos, and participatory science initiatives. (Recommended ages: 12 and older)
The Explorer Series touches on pivotal areas of NSF NCAR research that supports national priorities that protect lives, support the U.S. economy, and strengthen national security. Deep dive into the latest Earth system models to predict weather and the behavior of our Sun, learn about the latest advances in airborne and ground-based observational science, and much more.
The address for in-person events is 1850 Table Mesa Drive, Boulder, CO 80305. Directions and a map can be found on our website. We have ample parking at the Mesa Lab for all visitors. There will be a uniformed security officer near the building entrance who will be able to answer questions about parking. The officer will guide drivers who have a disability parking plate or placard, or those with passengers who would have difficulty walking from the parking lot, to appropriate parking spaces or to the drop-off location. Please do not call security with general questions related to the event.
Please let us know if you need sign language interpretation so that we can make those accommodations by emailing contact-ncar-explorers@ucar.edu at least 5 business days before the event and we will do our best to accommodate it.
