Abstract
George H. Ludwig resigned in protest last month from his post as director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Environmental Research Laboratories (ERL). Ludwig, who will retire in February 1984 after 30 years of government service, told Eos that he resigned “with the intent of making a statement” about changes within NOAA that he says are weakening the agency's research program. Ludwig is now the assistant to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) chief scientist.“The NOAA reorganization process of the past year has been unusually traumatic for ERL,” Ludwig explained in a memo to his ERL colleagues when he announced his departure. “Specific actions have shifted many of ERL's long‐standing management responsibilities elsewhere in the [Department of Commerce] and NOAA.”
