1) The NEW NASA Land Cover Land Use Change Program Brochure The NASA Land Cover Land Use Change Program is an important research element of the NASA Earth Science Enterprise. It addresses the causes and consequences of land use change and its relationship to climate change. Chris Justice from our department has the role of LCLUC Program Scientist. As part of the NASA program outreach, the LCLUC Program Support Team at UMd maintain the program website, organize workshops and periodically develop a brochure which describes the goals and activities of the program. The latest brochure has just been released. The graphics, layout and editing were done by Lydia Prentiss (FRA), with the content being provided by Kelley O'Neal (FRA), Chris Justice (PI) and Garik Gutman (Program Manager). The various research projects from the program are highlighted including some from our department. The brochure can be downloaded from the NASA LCLUC web site (http://lcluc.umd.edu/).2) The Land Theme Report of the Integrated Global Observing Strategy. This report outlines the main observing requirements for the land over the next 10 years. Involved in its production were John Townshend (co-chair), Chris Justice (who led the agriculture sections), Inbal Becker-Reshef and Mengxue Li (former FRA). 3) Restructuring Federal Climate Research to Meet the Challenges of Climate Change. This is the report of the NRC committee co-chaired by Chris Justice which is the subject of a previous news item.
