University of Colorado Boulder professor Waleed Abdalati has had many titles over the years, including ICESat program scientist and, more recently, NASA chief scientist. He returned to his alma mater in 2013 to lead CIRES, an institute established through a cooperative agreement with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that focuses on understanding Earth and the human relationship with our environment. In September, Abdalati was tapped to co-chair with the University of Maryland's Antonio Busalacchi a National Research Council committee that will spend two years producing the Decadal Survey for Earth Science and Applications from Space. It will be the Earth science community's second decadal survey. The first, released in 2007, set an ambitious 17-mission agenda that NASA and NOAA have struggled to fully implement within their limited budgets.
