The National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder Colorado is a leading research institution in the area of global and climate change research worldwide. As a component of NCAR's mission in research, education, and service, NCAR supports numerous programs designed to bring this science to different audiences in order to promote better understanding of climate and global change research as well as its relevance in learning contexts. Our climate and global change education and outreach effort targets several audiences, including professional development for middle and high school educators, exhibits, tours, websites, and development of educational resources on climate and global change topics. The design of our program intentionally leverages resources in support of multiple audiences in different settings. Over 80,000 visitors come to the NCAR Mesa Laboratory each year, and now have the opportunity to visit our new Climate Discovery exhibit unveiled in July 2003. This exhibit, which includes integrated curriculum resources addressing topics highlighted in the exhibit, will soon be extended to include an interactive Climate Future gallery. Our two-week summer professional development workshops - the NCAR Climate and Global Change Workshop and the NCAR Modeling in the Geosciences Workshop - provide extensive background information on the state-of-the-art of climate and global change research and modeling provided by leading researchers, training on computer- and non-computer based activities, field trips, project development, training for dissemination, and opportunities to share with their colleagues. Our education and outreach websites are now being expanded to include dedicated content and interactives addressing climate and global change topics, including the NCAR Education and Outreach website (www.ncar.ucar.edu/eo) and the Windows to the Universe website (www.windows.ucar.edu).
