The NSF Unidata Program Center is pleased to announce the opening of the 2025 NSF Unidata Community Equipment Awards solicitation. Created under the sponsorship of the U.S. National Science Foundation, NSF Unidata equipment awards are intended to encourage new members from diverse disciplinary backgrounds in the Earth Systems Sciences to join the NSF Unidata community, and to encourage existing members to continue their active participation, enhancing the community process. For 2025, a total of $100,000 is available for awards; proposals for amounts up to $20,000 will be considered.

The American Geophysical Union will be conducting a hybrid in-person and virtual conference for its 2024 Fall meeting, December 9-13 2024, with live events taking place at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. Several NSF Unidata staff members will be presenting as part of the AGU Scientific Program; a schedule of their talks and posters is included in the article.
