New NSF GEO leadership

The U.S. National Science Foundation Directorate for Geosciences (NSF GEO) welcomes new leadership as part of an agencywide reorganization<https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.nsf.gov%2Fod%2Fupdates%2Fnsf-announces-organizational-realignment%3Futm_medium=email%26utm_source=govdelivery/1/0101019c491019a7-a230b9ae-c117-404a-bc43-7eb4fae47dc8-000000/CveFEi4qgeF3Km1jLYDSjteCwX10rZ3EPHfC1of6A6Q=443>.

NSF GEO Directorate Head Joydip Kundu leads the directorate and is joined by two deputy directorate heads, Jennifer Mercer and Anne Johansen. The three work closely with GEO section heads to oversee the directorate's research portfolio following the directorate's realignment from divisions to sections.

GEO remains committed to investing in Earth, atmosphere, geospace, ocean science and technology research and education through active and upcoming funding opportunities. The team looks forward to sharing more information about funding opportunities through the GEO listserv and websites, which will be updated in the coming months.

Under the new structure, the NSF division newsletters will no longer be sent. To continue to receive information about the directorate and its funding opportunities, please sign up for the GEO newsletters<https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fpublic.govdelivery.com%2Faccounts%2FUSNSF%2Fsubscriber%2Ftopics/1/0101019c491019a7-a230b9ae-c117-404a-bc43-7eb4fae47dc8-000000/m4AD9xmA16cxIax8Fgtm16qv-_uQESuB_er8apvWpuQ=443>:
