National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is a science agency that focuses on the conditions of the oceans and the atmosphere, including earth systems, paleoclimatology, geophysics and weather. Their mission is to foster “an informed society that uses a comprehensive understanding of the role of the oceans, coasts and atmosphere in the global ecosystem to make the best social and economic decisions.”
Tours of NOAA headquarters are held every Tuesday at 1:00 p.m. and last approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. On the tour, you learn about NOAA’s research in Boulder and also about their weather operational centers. Guests will also experience Science on a Sphere, a room-sized teaching tool used to educate people of all ages on Earth Systems sciences. The tour promises to be an intriguing look into one of the most advanced science centers in the country.
NOAA was formed in October of 1970 and is housed at the U.S. Department of Commerce Boulder Labs on Broadway Street, south of Baseline Road.
Call 303-497-4091 to make reservations. All visitors must have a reservation and show a photo ID at the time of the tour.
