What do the science policy leaders of The United States envision for the future of Earth system observation, science, and services? How do key federal agencies cooperate and support the broader weather, water, and climate enterprise. How can new collaborations and relationships among public, private, academic and NGO communities be formed and strengthened? This session will provide perspectives of the leaders in federal science policy for weather, water, and climate, at a time when some in Congress and the Administration propose paring back roles and budgets for NOAA, NASA, NSF, USGS, and other agencies at the heart of the weather, water and climate enterprise. Come to this special session to hear from leading policymakers about the current state of federal science and policy.

Invited speakers include several top policy officials from government offices:

• Kelvin Droegemeier, Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy
• Neil Jacobs, Acting Administrator of the NOAA
• Jim Bridenstine, Administrator of NASA

Co-sponsored by the AMS Policy Program and the American Institute of Physics.
